I can't see anyone 'forcing' players onto Karanka, can you? That's not to say all of the choices were his. He's used to being involved in collective decision making re player recruitment from his time at Real and Boro, so it's hardly a culture shock for him. We know he's had input into at least some of the players recruited.
His responsibilities and skills are best suited to the role of first team manager, not being the head of scouting, overseeing the academy, training ground and other infrastructure, medical, physiotherapy etc etc. Let him get on with his job rather than being hampered by these other tasks.
Clubs aren't run like street corner sole trader sweet shops anymore. These days they are more like large supermarkets which need to be organised more efficiently and with longer term planning.
