To a degree, particularly on your third point
When Dodgy Geezer(tm) tried to take us over iirc us legacy lot were strongly against the idea and off he duly f**ked (sadly not because of us, most likely, but still). Fans of other clubs are much better at holding their noses than we have been, though, and there are some seriously dodgy owners around. So I think your first two points are sometimes true and sometimes not.
However you have only to go to the Norwich Facebook Fan thingy to see people making your third point in spades. Even when romping away with the league, our subs are apparently "rubbish"/"limited" and show our "lack of ambition" - all that bollocks, from people who will be saying "spend a hundred squillion or we're showing no ambition, Delia is holding us back" and associated crap. Days like today show just how vital Delia's ownership and leadership have been.
Your final point on the overall context of big money player sales is bang on, imho.
