CDB, do you mean ATC management or airfield management?

Well, the watch manager would be in the tower, so he would know immeadiately! Airfield management would be paged seperately afterwards.

I have nothing but praise for you helpful ATCOs.

A few years ago, a fellow microlighter got caught out in deterioating weather near Birmingham. He was on frequency with Birmingham Radar and called for assistance. They guided him in and let him park in a hangar overnight! Caused a few issues with his 3 mile 45 knot final approach, but never once was any attitude given to the poor chap. Only extremely polite help and good hospitality. :D

He was raving about it for month, and talking down to us whingers about our refused zone transits

Forgive me, cdb, I'm just trying to clarify your view here.

Are you advocating that ATC should not tell airfield management until it's 'too late'?

Or are you advocating that ATC, when the airfield management tells them to relay a 'go elsewhere' message to an aircraft, refuse to do so?

I don't know of any tower ATSU that would ask the airfield management 'can we land the emergency?'
