On another hand, in the vast majority of projects, of course the managers can control the success or failure of the project — because the managers are the cause of most of the problems. That is, the managers consciously and unconsciously set things up to fail through e.g., ignorance, neuroses, politics, greed, and just plain incompetence. Even worse, as the project unfolds over time, the tendency of managers is to apply those same broken approaches to "fixing" the problem and thereby usually just make things worse.
