If McKinna failed to follow the instructions of the owner he would be out the door as fast as Miller and co were.
The fact that McKinna still has a job supports the fact that he's doing everything Mr Lee is instructing him to do.

Again, you should be questioning the organ grinder not the monkeys.

And please.. It's you're - not your ffs
Bingo. McKinna is set a budget. The budget comes from Lee. Lee says how much money is allocated for the fotball department, as well as the marketing department, membership department, media department, etc.

Listen to the interview we did on the Jetstream with McKinna again. The first thing Lee will do before piling money into the club is make it profitable. The noise coming out about wholesale changes to the squad says to me that they don't see it as good enough to compete. Why not hold onto the marquee money until we have that squad? Maybe we are getting our shit in order off the field, working in the community to help build the brand and attract businesses on board? We've go more sponsors now than we ever have. He's been here for just under 6 months. You think he got rich by going in a throwing money around or taking time to understand the business and choosing the time to invest?

We are getting to the end of the trash Miller had to deal with when he joined post Stubbins. He came in an refused to sign anyone to more than 2 year deals, and not for longer than he was expected to last, so he didn't leave the next coach with a heap of dead wood squad - this off season is the first of those where we have that luxury. This is the first off season in probably 3 where we can make some serious moves in the player market.
