People generally get a feeling when something isn't right. I can't believe that Redknapp didn't have the 'this is wrong' moment when he was signing some of the players on the wages begin paid. He may not have signed the cheques, but imo any manager has a responsibility to question the chairman when stupid figures are being paid, especially in the post Leeds United era
"where is the money comng from and can we sustain this long term?"
Would be my question.
and when answered "our rich owner and of course we can" ?
"Awesome...lets do this"
