It strikes me that fans only ever see a fraction of the picture when it comes to finances

And this is made worse because the Board can't really come out and explain these decisions because they'd be giving away sensitive information about playing budgets and so on. There are innumerable ways of interpreting the financial reasoning behind every transfer decision, but fans tend to latch on to a narrative and accept it.
