I'd say 2014 Swansea for now, because it's not entirely clear how much of what they're doing is down to Potter and De Zerbi, and how much is down to the structure they have in place making the managers look better than they are
Swansea's model was effective and enjoyable, until they hired Brad Bobbly.
 
Fat Frank looking likely to head back to Chelsea as caretaker manager til the end of the season.
 
Swansea's issue is they had new owners come in, who abandoned the model and soon adopted the mentality that staying up was enough

...and then sold Llorente and Savilsson in the same window, at which point staying up wasn't going to happen
They also allegedly destroyed their dressing room via a boardroom affair with a player's wife.
Said player was loaned out when he discovered it.
