On the contrary...
you moaning because the BOARD signed these players.. and the BOARD decided not to play them ?
i think you misunderstand the concept of a managers job ..its the MANAGERS job to
1. identify players he "thinks" will improve the current playing squad within the budget he is given
2. the manager's job to weight up the fitness, and skill levels of the players at his disposal to choose the best team the MANAGER thinks will win games
3. the manager's job to decide whether the aforementioned player/players is adaptable or plays in a position which suits the MANAGERS formation and tactics
believe it or not... its even upto the manager who starts in the starting 11 and also who sits on the bench.
non of the above is the board's decision (apart from veto funds for target players), which i think we have already established the players you mentioned.. when they was 1st signed the VAST majority of people was happy with the signings and had high hopes for them to do well.
hence you cant blame the board for signing anybody (let alone the 3 signings you mention) if the board have faith in the manager to target and identify players they think will do well.
