our style is essentially Championship-based

lots of direct longfish balls and an emphasis on high work rate, not so much on ball posession. Very English. and comes naturally to the lower league sourced players we have.

Not sure it would translate well to the more 'cultured', technically better foreign players that top clubs stock their squads with.

The FAR more extreme version of our approach is Stoke's and no-one has ever shown the slightest interest in Pulis despite his Premier League credentials.
