Has anyone here succeeded with Hoofball Tactics?

Me and my friend were talking about football recently, and in particular the way is played now. Gegenpress, 4-2-3-1 etc. And I made the argument training methods, player fitness and the quality of pitches are so good now that a hoofball style game ala Dave Bassett, John Beck, Jack Charlton etc could no longer be effective.

It got me thinking. Has anyone here experimented with a Hoofball tactic in FM. What kind of success did you have etc. I might experiment with one in one of my saves.
