Ive had this discussion with my brother a few times. I thought it was plausible but not for the near future. Too many relegation candidates and teams who people shouldn’t expect to come up like Millwall

True, but of that list, 6 of the 9 are already in the Prem. Fulham yoyos quite a bit but right now look like they could be back. QPR are upper half of the table and within 4 positions of the playoffs.

Millwall is wishful thinking though.

One thing the United board gotta realize is this, the MUFC brand was built on success, which means winning/challenging for trophies. Man U isn’t the brand it is today if we were just making Top 4 in the Fergie era.

Not entirely true while Fergies success did help and is a factor. He didn't lay the foundations for that this all goes back to the Busby Babes era and what transpired over that period the tragedy and success. United even when they didn't win the league for 26 years and were only making FA Cup finals in 70-80's while Liverpool dominated over the same time frame United were still the better supported club in England and worldwide out of the 2.

United from 68/69 to 92/93 season is basically what the Cowboys are now since they last won/made the SB.
