What does this Conference League actually mean? What is the reward if you win it.

For next season regardless of where you finish in the league?

Yeah. So Leicester will be in the Europa League if they win this despite finishing in mid table

Thus devaluing the trophy further. Great stuff.

It's the same for any European trophy.

Chelsea won the CL and finished sixth. They were back in the CL next season

United did the same thing. It's all about the money, money, money.

I don't see how it devalues the competition any more than the Champions League does in allowing the 2nd, 3rd and 4th best teams in.

At least Leicester has to win something to qualify. We won the FA Cup and qualified for Europe that way. It's something to play for.

I don't necessarly agree with 4th place getting into the CL. The EL conference league is like a second tier of the EL, so it's in my opinion, a ridiculous thing.

Means Leicester have a European Semi Final either side of their Spurs fixture - we all know which match they will play the B team.

At this stage, you have to focus on Europe.

Hope Don Reiss Nelson has an opportunity to shine. He's been in good form lately.

4 semi finalists in this are probably stronger than the Europa League semi finalists
