Define decent? Do you mean tika-taka, gegenpressen etc? 

 

Personally (after all the years of shite), I'd rather we didn't stick to one specific style of play. Instead we chose the style best suited to winning that particular game. We'd have done a lot better under Scholes if we had been a lot more direct on crap pitches with 4th division players.

You can at any level, anyone who has watched Droylsden over the years will tell you they operate a passing style of play which has had some success.

The Vinny Jones era Wimbledon did well through the divisions with long ball tactics.

It really depends on the quality of the players though and the finances to buy them.

....indeed they have, however Dave Pace’s lack of financial planning eventually caught up with them, and they had to drastically cut spending.... which saw them relegated 3 times...

Think the financial crash hit him hard, but yes they  still play the passing game to this day.

Paco Herrera, that would be  a bit of a surprise wouldn't it?  Since his spell under Benitez at Liverpool he has a very good record at a high level.  Whether he is suited to League 2 is another matter... and he is 65.
