RL is a business man first and foremost, he relied on MON's judgement and expertise to acquire "Top Quality" players.. As a manager, MON was made aware of how much players cost and how much they were demanding in wages, RL trusted him to make the right decision and got bumped.. Even if MON wasn't privy to the ins and outs of the wage demands he still asked for these players in the first place, only to keep them on the bench or play them out of position.
