How do you propose he "veto" it?
When did he pander? When he loaned out Rasiak? When he loaned out Skacel? When he appointed a largely unknown and, to many, initially uninspiring manager?
Your post just shows a lack of understanding and misaprehension of the facts which is common amongst people who seek to blame Crouch for this.
Crouch is not very good at speaking "on his feet". Apart from that, I fail to see what he has done wrong.
You could say he shouldn't have supported Wilde but frankly, he shouldn't have supported Lowe either. If you cast your mind back he was actually trying to broker a truce between the two and was roundly criticised by many for wavering in his support for Wilde.
