I liked Man U under Tommy Doc but went further off them with each subsequent manager. They were the anti-Liverpool under Docherty but Sexton was dour and Big Ron just spunked cash to try to catch Liverpool up. They often played beautiful football under Ferguson and I'll admit that I supported them in the season they lost out to Leeds then the one they finally won the title, but by 1999 I was wanting Bayern to beat them.
As to why I "needed" to support a top flight club when I was 10-12, simply because every other middle-school kid in Barnsley did so and there was huge peer pressure to pick one. Barnsley were in their worst ever Div 4 trough.
