Mailbag: Will the Carabao Cup survive?

As FIFA unveils a new tournament every weekend and injuries pile up, we start today’s show wondering if the majestic Carabao Cup can survive the demands of modern football. Marcus wants to scrap it and trojan horse more international friendlies in the resulting gaps, but there we are.

Vish and Jim are also here as we answer more of your questions. Why are football managers generally getting younger? What would coaches do if they could talk to players via NFL-style headsets? And we decide on the most distinctive “what’s good for the Ramble isn’t good for your club” signing possible - Cristiano back at United, anyone?
