I have followed Utd since early 80s. So don't remember the relegation of the mid 70s which obviously was a real low point.

The season played out in Division 2 was a blessing in disguise and was for many Reds, one of the best seasons ever to be a United supporter.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have read about that season and Utd were so dominant in getting promoted, so that would have been enjoyable I guess. Not sure we would want to go through it again...................
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I now quite a few Leeds fans that stopped going to games in the PL. They have now started going again since relegation.
They say it is more enjoyable in the Championship.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They would know I suppose.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I find it quite interesting that they struggled for 15 years to return to the promised land. Then once they got there, after 1 season, they didn't actually enjoy being there. It's a funny old game.
Depends if you include the manager or just the players.
Put Ancelloti, Pep, and Emerey in charge and we're title challengers with a fit squad. With ETH, 6th.

Definitely not a title challenging team but still much better than what we are getting.
Most of our injuries have been in defensive areas and despite this it's still the attacking side of our game letting us down more so there's no excuses.
I think more fans would give ETH a reprieve if the attackers were banging the goals in and it was just injuries costing us silly goals. That's not what's happening though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Our attacking is just fine, what are you on about? We’re only one goal behind Luton
Some fans are just crazy….
Good post, have 5*.
I think fourth or fifth. It's difficult to decide with managers in your scenario, eg if Klopp was our manager would the Liverpool have a manager as good.
I think our squad is fourth or fifth assuming all the managers stayed the same and we had Klopp 2. Probably fourth. We need a minimum of one stand out player in attack or attacking midfield to get to say second.
I really enjoyed our season in division two for a few reasons.
We were dominant so were sure to go up.
We played exciting attacking football, which we knew would be good in the first division.
We liked the Doc
I visited grounds I'd never been to.
For some reason the crowds went up.
The atmosphere was bouncing.
We played exciting true Man United style football under the doc with proper footed wingers, so much of todays football is passing for the sake of it, not so much us because we’re not even very good at that, the Doc understood United and the fans and had Charisma sadly ETH just doesn’t get it in my opinion
