I don't think 8 promotions is that big of a deal in a game like TE (You need those for the CL and the Supern League). Promotion won't give you any advantage (without counting the money ). I've read different views about relegation, I don't know how that would be implemented in a fair way in a game like this. There would be a whole new level of tanking with overpowered teams wanting to be relegated.
