City's biggest problem was the sad reality that even when United were relegated in 1974, the vast majority of their fanbase had grown-up with the Busby Babes and George Best, and subsequently they always had the numbers, regardless of whether City had overtaken them on the pitch.
United's biggest problem is the sad reality that the generation who attended both the 1957 and 1977 FA Cup Finals, (and were probably only in their late 30s/early 40s when Ferguson arrived at Old Trafford) are now becoming marginalised and will soon be irrelevant.
If the current trend continues then ultimately there will be a shift so huge that even the media will start to take notice.
