tuesday july 23 - 19:44 Tamaz, I think you've correclty identified a problem but not the solution.
1. The Popularity system could do with some improvements and
2. after 6 years new users start so far behind they do need more help with catching up.
However, if used well, the Starter's bonus already allows a new user to gain popularity more quickly than the larger clubs.
So the Starter's bonus already achieves much of your proposal. But it only lasts for 4 seasons and even if it has been well used the new user is still a long way behind. Double buidling speed also allows for faster catch up of facilities but without an increased income the construction costs can be an obstacle to faster progress.
So I would suggest improving the Starter's bonus so that it (1.) lasts longer and (2.) gives reduced construction costs.
