Blackburn had Jack Walker

Who established them just as football became more intensely finance based.

Wigan have Dave Whelan who see it as a pet project
Portsmouth have Gaydamak and had Mandaric.

All hugely cash rich. We have a paper rich couple who may in years to come choose to be cash rich and spend some of that on the club.

So yes, they outresource NCFC hugely.
