Ranieri has a significant say on transers.
Sissoko, Amauri and Poulsen were all specifically requested by Ranieri.
He has a say, but it could be more marginal than we think.
Indeed he had a great role on sissoko's transfer, he insisted from the beginning with him and his exp from EPL justifies that.
He also dared to play a part in the Amauri transfer, with his public opinion announced for vouching for our 3 promising youngsters to stay.
And he also insisted and praised Poulsen, claiming that he would fit his plans more than Alonso.
However i am not convinced if Poulsen was CR's choice from the beginning, or he was forced/ordered to declare that in order to justify the fact, that we failed to sign our primary target...
CR is by far the most exp member of our decision maker council, i sure hope that he has a significant say, because i trust his judgement above any other caricature who share a place with him there...
On the other had, the more influence CR has, the more is to blame for the strategical mistakes we made and the tactical issues he faces now due to the lack of the proper material/tools.
But i have reasons to believe that our board has fired DD and brought the smiling CR, mostly because they thought the would manipulated him easier and then use his as a scapegoat when our 5 year plan fails to win us any title...
time will tell...
