The idea of a yes man makes no sense. The head coach is there to implement the vision of those above him.

To anyone who thinks a 'yes man' is a bad thing, imagine you are interviewing someone for a position with a lot of responsibility and that person came into the interview and started saying they wanted to do things completely differently and disagreed with company strategy, even if they may be correct in what they say, are you appointing them? Absolutely not.

Now on the other hand, if a potential employee came in and their ideas and views aligned with what the company is trying to do they'd be a stand out candidate.

Yes a bit of professional debate which leads to tweaks of strategy is important, but you absolutely do not appoint someone who wants to rip everything up and do their own thing.

The lack of logical thinking astounds me.

It's just the latest term for the whoppers to criticise the club:
1. We have no Head Coach
2. It's been xxx days since we had a permanent Head Coach
3. We're dithering on the appointment
4. We've lost out to x/y/z other clubs
5. Other clubs have made quicker appointments
6. No-one wants to job because of Speakman
7. No-one wants to job because of Dodds
8. No-one wants to job because of Proctor
9. We won't pay any compensation
10. We won't pay enough compensation
11. We're appointing a nobody
12. This guy has only taken the job because he's a yes man

It's ****ing pathetic and it's exhausting how some twisty ****s in our fanbase go on

I genuinely think a lot of people can't get their heads round the DoF/Head Coach concept.

Too many are still pining for the return of a 'manager' instead of the head coach. Managers will soon be a thing of the past at all pro football clubs.

People need to move with the times :-)

When his name was first mentioned I must admit I was a bit deflated. This was partly due to the fact that I still had hopes for Maric or Cifuentes but mainly because of my ignorance of his name.
However, after a bit of thought, I am now comfortable with it, as it goes down the route that I have wanted for a long time - that of a bit of a risk with a European coach rather than a British plodder (not trying to be disrespectful just my thoughts).
However, to give him a chance (and to prove the doubters wrong) he MUST be backed in the transfer market. Hopefully, we will see 2/3 signings that will get people excited and help us all move on.

I often wonder if people who think like that are stuck in a job where they hate their boss and always get looked over for promotions or if they just can't think logically when it comes to football.

Coming soon, 1500 page thread on how the recruitment is ****e :emoticon-0101-sadsm

Utter rubbish to suggest we have recruited badly , when ever you recruit it will vary in success and failure it always has and always will . The value of our squad and the Premier league interest would indicate that our recruitment is a lot better than average . Nobody was remotely interested in our players three or four years ago unless we were giving them away compared to now where we could sell half of our team for approaching £100 million . The obvious failure is a high scoring forward and I like lots of our fans would say that has to be the priority along with a holding midfielder to replace Corry Evans but they will be hard to find and will cost us quite a bit of money - over to you KLD ,Speakman and the recruitment team .

I have tbh and say none of the names of our possible Head Coaches l have filled me with any excitement. I knew nowt about any of them. So the imminent appointment of Regis is not something I'll take with any disappointment. I'll get behind him 100%. Next stop, promotion!

Yes men tend to be yes men because it's a lazier way of staying employed than doing a good job.

Depends on who's doing the employing. I wouldn't want someone who just agrees with me all the time. Recipe for complacency.
