You don't get it do you

They appoint the sodding manager. If he makes s**te signings the board are indirectly responsible. And the board negotiates player contracts, not the manager. That means wage incentives, get out clauses etc. They've done a s**te job. Peter thorne on a reported £5k a week for example. Unacceptable.
