The highlight was an FA Cup final appearance in 1979, losing 3-2 to Arsenal in a dramatic match, and finishing as league runners-up to Liverpool in 1979-80.

 ESPN.com Soccernet Column by John Brewin: A club too far?
Sexton had been at the helm in both Chelsea and QPR's greatest-ever eras, winning the 1970 FA Cup and the Cup Winners' Cup the following year, and taking QPR to within a whisker of the title in 1976.
But quoting Chinese philosophical epithets to United's brash young stars, as Dave was wont to do, failed miserably to continue the regeneration, and United slid into the bad old days of in-fighting, political chicanery and disquiet from the terraces.
All-out attacking was abandoned in favour of a workmanlike approach and, despite a losing Cup Final appearance in 1979, a runners-up league position in 1980 and a seven-game winning run at the end of 1980-1, Sexton was removed, due to the dramatically falling attendances at 'Cold Trafford', as it had become nicknamed.
