United fans are becoming entitled these days. There is no quick fix; we've already tried and failed at that. Ole is repairing the club culture and it might take another season before we're even close to competing for a title. Welcome to the real world where money doesn't magically fix things.

I sort of agree, but then I look at City and money certainly did fix things.

City's quick fix could help of course but is that sustainable if the owner wants out or gets bored one day and there is no-one to chuck wads of cash to remove any debt through various dodgy channels. 

You want sustainability that leads to the club being financially liquid on its own merits - I know I'm biased but the slow and steady approach has worked for Liverpool it would appear and worked for Arsenal (Arsenal just forgot to do the spending stuff once they had a decent income).
