Bit like what Liverpool do in the League Cup with their Pep and good number of youth players getting involved but using it to prepare for continued evolution in style as well.

A belief that there is a pathway (and a need for it to be successful) raises all boats.
I like what Liverpool did last year, very good, even if it didn't work out its got to be great for the kids. League Cup isn't a big draw these days no harm in the teams that want to taking that approach.
