Good fudge. "I'm leaving the fate of my £3-4bn asset in the hands of two lads who have f**ked up spectacularly on pretty much every decision they've made this season".

Honestly, it's like I've been sucked into some parallel universe.

As a general observation...
Tbh...that is the right approach. If you install the right people in the executive positions you let them captain the ship and make all the big decisions.

That is because you have hired them for their expertise around the industry you operate in. They inherently know a lot more than you do as a money rich owner.

Yes, there can be conversations BUT you've employed these people to guide you. They might as well not be there if you constantly interfere or override them (and the person/persons themselves will feel diminished and probably 'whats the point?)

Completely agree.
However it’s pretty obvious they’ve employed the wrong executives in Vinai and Lange.

Agree - But wasn't it said he had to intervene in order to finally get Frank sacked?

Would agree wholeheartedly in any semi functional organisation. That is not us. We’re dysfunctional on steroids.

I know Vinai and Lange are easy spacegoats but their decision making has proven to be horrendous to the point that, despite spending more than most of the league on transfers, despite having the 6th biggest wage bill, we’re a point above the relegation zone with 8 games to play.

To anyone with eyes and scant knowledge of the game, they’ve hired a guy who has made our plight even worse than it was under Frank.

Sometimes, leadership is stepping in to avoid a doomsday scenario where the club gets relegated, our revenues drop substantially, we lose a bunch of players and a bunch of people around the club lose their jobs as a result.

It would be astounding if Vinai and Lange kept their jobs under any circumstances after his season. Allowing them to keep steering us towards the iceberg unchecked is a dereliction on behalf on the owners IMO.
