I don't think ownership was behind him not interviewing several candidates etc. He seems to just think he knows what makes a good diamond in the rough coach and goes with that.
What is spent on players is public domain. So fans get mad about ticket prices and such when the on ice spend is not matching up against what we have to pay. It's optics and PR.

Whereas the back office is a mystery to us. The team doesn't have to tell us contracts and terms. But we know they have taken passes on top people in favour of unproven people.

I agree that it doesn't add up.
