    I assume you mean the Euro Conference, not the EFL National League formerly known as the Conference League.

    Well in that case, yes. I'd be happy to win it and see some silverware, even if it's not the top competition. I know some might regard it as Mickey Mouse, but we just need to break the hoodoo of how long we've gone without winning anything. Then we can take that mentality into other competitions. So it's a yes from me.

    It's our best chance of a trophy just need to qualify and you're instantly a very strong favourite.

    Very because he would rather just finish 4th than win a cup.

    Your poll needs a 3rd option - Yes.

    ab·so·lute·ly
    /ˈabsəˌlo͞otlē,ˌabsəˈlo͞otlē/

    adverb
    1. 1.
      with no qualification, restriction, or limitation; totally.
    I would rather finish in the top 4 of the PL and play in the Champions League, even if we do get knocked out at the Group Stage, than finish 7th in the PL, in order to qualify for, and then win, the Conference. However if we did end up in the Conference I would like us to win it.

    So it’s not an Absolutely and it’s not a No.

    If we ended up in that competition, looking at the calibre of teams, i'd expect us to go far, but i wouldnt be cheering too much. I've seen......and made some less than supportive comments about it to west ham and villa fans.

    Some of our best fans might be dead before we win a trophy at this rate.

    So yes, I'd take any real trophy
