Well it's in his job title as head of recruitment...
So you think that the ‘head of recruitment’ signs players and then says to the manager ‘there you go, manage that lot’.
That’s not how it works is it?
The same goes for Catlin, he doesn't sign players without consulting the team manager.
Managers watch matches, have scouts to give them the heads up on suitable recruits, decide who they would like, then hand it over to the CEO and co to try to get those players.
No manager (unless he was on daft money) would work any other way.
Obviously managers never get all the players they want, due to factors like dosh, not wanting to move to Pompey, not wanting to drop a division, etc. etc.
You lot seem to have a strange idea of what the job titles ‘CEO’ and ‘head of recruitment’ actually mean. Their job descriptions do not include team selection.
