In a World where the smaller guys are increasingly getting pushed out or dominated by the bigger guys, the Conference League works quite well for small clubs and larger ones.
  • The fans of European giants get to visit new grounds.
  • Clubs attempting to join the Top 2/4/6 get to play in Europe as the big fish in the pond.
  • Clubs attempting to join the Top 2/4/6 have to balance European success and maintaining domestic progress.
  • "Small" clubs have a genuine outside chance at winning or hosting the final.
