Football is all about finding a way of playing that suits the players you have and getting results. Always has been and always will. They have been any number of teams relegated from the Premier League and Championship who were lauded for their playing style. Barnsley for example when they got up last time in 1997 - did it do them any good ? No, straight back down. Fulham similarly in recent years on two occasions and probably a third this year. Swansea, Norwich the same.
