I don't have a problem with the ownership being engaged in decisions like this.

And as for the trust in the GM, that's a non starter, even Burke has said that there are levels to the autonomy that he got as a GM. Different levels of the budget that would either require consultation with ownership or they wouldn't. We can speculate what those levels are for Feaster, but I imagine a lot of GMs would need approval to add a 5+ million dollar contract. And the character issues with Seguin would, and should, be a red flag for anyone.
