"After Busby gave up the job of manager in 1971 the club experimented with a series of managers but enjoyed little playing success over the next twenty years. This was the Liverpool era. Over this period Liverpool won 11 League titles, was runner-up six times, won the FA Cup three times and was runner-up twice, won the European Cup four times and was runner-up once and won the UEFA Cup twice. This was a sustained and unprecedented dominance of English football by one club. And yet, despite not winning a League title or European competition over the period, Manchester United remained a much better supported club than any other, including Liverpool. Table 2 compares the ranks of Liverpool and Manchester United in terms of league position and attendance at league matches.

This support was critical to the long-term survival and prominence of the club. Whilst it is true that Manchester United continued to play attractive football throughout its relatively lean years, this alone cannot account for the sustained interest in the club. Manchester United resembles brands like Coca-Cola, Marlboro cigarettes or Nescafé. Although they compete in markets crowded with superficially similar products, consumers have a strong tendency to rely on their established brand image in preference to their rivals."
