Would you swap relegation for winning the Europa Conference?

West Ham fans are not noted for their Faustian pacts, but recently a number of friends have been speculating over whether they would swap relegation for winning the Europa Conference. A surprising number, particularly younger fans who have never see WHU win anything, said they would. Having been lucky enough to see the Hammers win the FA Cup in 1975 and 1980 I'm not so sure. Relegation could see the club enter a long-term decline and be marooned in the Championship for years like Leeds were. I'd maybe swap relegation for an FA Cup or Europa League win but although the Europa Conference is something, it's very much the poor relation of the Europa League. Though couldn't we just this once make it easy by avoiding relegation and winning the Europa Conference? Or would that be too unlike West Ham?

Of course!!!!
Why would you swap winning a trophy to continue to be an also ran in the league?

Being also-rans does mean we get to play the bigger clubs rather than Rotherham - and sign the odd great player like Di Canio or Payet. Hopefully it's all a hypothetical question though...
