I'd say 3 seasons without a trophy could be the magic number (apart from in our case, of course). It might tempt drastic, wholesale changes for the worse.

They've really turned football into crap for me since 2005
I remember a couple of years after Abramovic took over we played them at Highbury and (as we always did back then) beat them and thinking "they'll never by a title".
I was wrong, they've bought plenty. And now so have City.
Money and success in football have always been linked to an extent but in the Sky era it's got increasingly ridiculous.

PS: Just remembered. I was talking to a Chelsea fan recently and he was bemoaning the way Man Utd have splashed money around recently.
