UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

[DB]

Is it me or anyone else not getting excited by the Conf League? It's a 3rd tier euro comp playing Andorra's finest.
I am excited by the progress we have made under Unai, what the summer may bring and where this club is heading....but is it that big a deal playing in the conf league?

[Bad English]

Well, winning it qualifies you for the Europa...

It can lead to an extra £15-20m of revenue that can be spent improving the squad, so yeah it's an important step.

Before we get into the group stage of the Conference League, we will have to play a qualifying round in August

Hopefully we get through

I get that and winning it brings Europa qualification, but just the prestige of it is a bit…
I’ll still be screaming the team on Sunday to get this final win.

Not much good when you've already qualified for the Champions League.

Is it any less prestigious than say the Cup Winners Cup used to be? Its a bit like saying the League Cup isnt as prestigious as any domestic tournament, yes it may not have the cache of the FA Cup but I notice every club includes it within there list of honours won and newbee "big clubs" Cit£h and Chelski deliberately targeted it to get there trophy counts up. I'm hoping we do the same.

I think the fact that they always pick small stadiums for the final tells its own story.  I get that it's European competition,  but it still has that mickey mouse feel about it.

The League Cup feels prestigious by the time you reach the semi final and final stages.

[LeeB]

The club, the manager and the players seem to be excited by the prospect and that will do for me.

And UEFA have admitted already that's been a mistake and need to rectify it.

Roma won it last year, and they're in the Europa League final this year.

As long as we don't take them lightly. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/40475647

More generally, what LeeB said.

[eamonn]

It means we will play more matches, you spend more time on H&V and will give your life more meaning and less meaning at the same time.

I am excited about the prospect of being back in European competition to be honest.  Think it will be a good step back into European football and hopefully a step towards us competing in higher level competitions.

Would still love to see us win the Europa League (though wish it was still a two legged knockout competition and called the UEFA Cup, but there you go) and this could be a stepping stone in that process.
