I agree that owners should be concerned with the money that they are spending on players, but shouldn't they put some trust in their GM? The GM is supposed to build a team, but how can he build a team to his vision if owners don't trust him? If the owners don't trust a GM to make the correct decisions then why do they keep him employed? If the owners don't trust their GM, why do they bother hiring somebody to be the GM? Why don't they just name themselves the GM?
Trust in your GM, place some parameters to give him guidance, and let him do his job. If he wants to bend or stretch those parameters then he can ask the owner and the owner can get involved in that decision, but otherwise don't meddle.
You hire somebody to do a job, if you don't trust them to do the job then don't hire them. A good leader is allowed to keep informed but a good leader lets their people do what they are hired to do. A good leader builds an environment that allows people to do their part, supports those people, and lets those people succeed without controlling those people.
