The inspiration is more about how a team without the depth or resources of the top boys is still making noise. But those mid-table teams who dare to dream still need to find their Mahrez and Vardy to make it a possibility, so it's inspiring to show them it can be done and is possible, but it's difficult to replicate without the right personnel.

I think it's attractive due to Leicester being in the honeymoon stage of success.
Is there a successful club out there, with the philosophy around the lack of possession and a counter-attack?
Perhaps Chelsea with Mourinho? We know how that turned out though.
Which comes back to what I mentioned originally. It's not a philosophy for long term success.
