I thought I remember us being favourites or one of them for the league title after we got relegated in the 90’s, the year where we only lost a couple of our best players, GT and Eddie I think and Alan Smith took over, we did go on to win the league with Gareth Southgate as our leader 😀
But other than that you’re probably right
