Most seem to be understandably ok with losing if it means a full season of concentrating on domestic footie instead of conference football:

That site is dreadful. Making my eyes hurt after seconds.
 
Conference League is probably the worst thing that could happen to them next season.

Unfortunately after their win against Spurs they have a realistic shot of Europa League now, which they would want and will ensure they are more motivated than they would have been.
 
What’s understandable about not wanting to win and not wanting to get into Europe???
Given their history they’ve been involved in the top European competitions. The conference to them is just a waste of time in a season when they have a chance to consolidate under a good manager and have a real crack at Champions League spots next season (see Man U this season). If they got Europa, that would be a different story as it’s a route into the CL.

We struggle to see this as we’ve not had their European success. In their position, I wouldn’t want us in the conference - especially if it brings UEFA eyes onto their financial position and restraints

I do also suspect they feel they stand a good chance of losing so are covering themselves to an extent
 
“Understandably”???

God…I hope WE never get so blasé

I think they are covering themselves to be "not that bothered" if they miss out..I can understand it. They've been in the champions league many many times, and won it, recently.

Im sure they'd be happy to beat us and if that meant conference league then they'd get on with it, but I can understand why they wouldn't be devastated to miss out
