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.

Yeah but when Chelsea did it, it was...at Chelsea, with a loaded roster and a ridiculously rich owner. I definitely agree it's not the long term recipe, but Leicester of course has had one (extremely) successful year, which came after they were fighting for relegation last year.
So we'll see if they try and build something long term, I think using this approach as a springboard to something better long term is fine. Right now this is the best approach for the roster they have, if they go out and spend to improve the roster, ideally they play more attacking.
