    I´ve already answered that in a way, on another thread, Thurnby, but if that scenario did happen, which I severely doubt, then I´d quite simply stop following and supporting them, and find something else to do on my Saturday afternoons. It wouldn´t be the Norwich I´ve followed and supported all my life, and I certainly wouldn´t be able to, nor would I want to, relate to a club that went down that path, and tried to buy their way to success.

    and I´m not lying incidentally, as much as ´know-it-all´ carrabuh might want to suggest otherwise.

    The Venkys are not the scenario described.

    Lying wasn't the only option.

    A rich owner plowing money into the club isn't the way I'd want to go either. My main reservation is that it seldom lasts. Teams like Blackburn and Wigan bought success for a while this way but it wasn't sustainable. Manchester City made it work, but they were already a much bigger club. I'd much rather we look long term and build a team in the way that Ken Brown, Dave Stringer and Mike Walker did. That would have been sustainable if it wasn't for Robert Chase.

    Thanks for the comments so far which seem to be in the main for a "steady as she goes" scenario and the outside injection of dosh as outlined in my original question being largely unwelcome. Carrubah has made an overt statement embracing the sugar daddy option and on that basis we have a broader debate. My question to Carrubah would be as follows, are there any examples of outside takeovers which he has found successful enough and at the same time pallatable in his opinion to sugest that this can be done. I think the majority to date would feel a tad cheated if the title were not earned in a way that we could all get truly excited about and simply buying silverware (which I accept is now the norm) is not something that we as a whole would be happy with.
