That's pretty tame, actually

Point of order for them, too - "The board aren't football people". Well, no. By and large, very few boards *are* "football people".

Roman Abramovich? Nope.
Thaksin Shinawatra? Nope.
Malcolm Glazier? Nope.
David Gold and David Sullivan? Nope.
Mike Ashley? Nope.
Marcus Evans? Nope.
Peter Ridsdale? Nope (He ran a shoe company).

That's why you hire a manager to do the football.
