Thought I'd have a wee look too compare how we've done over the split years in the top flight, a fair mix after 19 games, an obvious what might have been season in there, nothing to tell us really how rounds 20-38 will go but hopefully this is more a Houston season where we kick on as we enter spring

Nothing to say about pre Levein other than 3-4 epic days surviving relegation and the last few weeks of 04/05 was the only ups
2007-2015 was a cracking period, Levein strong first half of seasons but tended to stumble through the end of season and could have finished higher a couple times
Houston opposite, would motor on in spring and finish strong every time after an average start
McNamara sullied by the contract stuff but imo a very good Utd manager who was on course for best season outside of 83 and 87 in 14/15 until the GMS/Armstrong sales, everything went to sh1t thereafter
Goodwin a steady pair of hands and a solid keeper away from having replicated last season
The issue when we got up in 2020 was for me a different manager to start each season, this time same manager, a structure in place with recruitment strategy and reducing costs, I hope stick with it and resist any talk to changing manager during a lean spell, there will be ups and downs but this period stability is still key and hopefully we make sure next season is not a mess like our 3rd season back was last time (22/23) due to destabilising things ourselves, we know stability works for us
