In principle, but the problem arises when DoF/Munn determin the suitability of the player differently to the Coach and when Coach believes Player A is attainable but DoF/Munn dont and move on to B.The way it should work, assuming we have a DoF/Sporting Director is this;
Coach identifies a positional weakness.
DoF/Coach draw up a list of suitable players in order of preference. No player should be on that list without agreement of both parties.
DoF/Munn work out suitability based on Club philosophy & budgets and players put in definitive desired order.
DoF begins negotiations for player A, moving onto B should A be unavailable/unattainable. And so on.
So coach would have a 'decisive say'.
He will have “a say”. All managers have a say.If he doesn’t get a say in transfer dealings what is the point. Any new manager needs to be able to have the players he wants. It seems like stating the obvious but who knows with Spurs.

Less needHe will have “a say”. All managers have a say.
He wants decision making control. That’s a matter of degree and choice of phrasing, as my previous post says. Levy can easily give the new manager something that sounds like control, but has plausible deniability that what was intended was only “a say”.
This is perhaps less of a torturous issue, now that the stadium has been built. There’s more revenue and less need to hoard capital for construction.
