At Liverpool its Comolli who has been key in bringing in players same thing at Chelsea & Man City....Mancini doesn't even know who will be signed by the club.
At Barca Guardiola has been so quiet on new signings, its the President who has brought Cesc and Sanchez on board. Massimo Morati is the one calling the shots at Inter, not the coach.
Usmanov and several other directors have called for the immediate replacement of the entire board. Its the same board that replaced David Dean (Wenger's right hand man) who was so influential in bringing in top players. Wenger is always arrogant and stubborn when it comes to signing players but i don't think he is entirely to blame. He has performed well with the players at his disposal but lack of depth in the team has always been the major problem.
Except that the Aresenal Chairman is Peter Hill-Wood. He does not run the club and when it comes to foot in the mouth cases you best believe that he was separated at birth from his twin brother Alfred Mutua. In short the guy makes no calls at the club when it comes to players leaving or being bought.
On the link over Wenger being at loggerhead with the board, read it yesterday and it sounds like some PR move for Wenger to win back the fans after screwing up this transfer window.
