If the chairman is funding the signings then he has every right to stick his nose in
Chairmen should be there to sign off on deals in the background, not there to decide on footballing matters and making a decision not to go with a scout due to thinking that they know better.
This is what has caused all this crap. Cox signing Hippolyte just goes to show if he had a war chest who the feck he’d be signing.
Then to top it off we signed a relation of Swann for the scouting.
