How did people suddenly come to the general consensus that Woy is some kind of "Yes man"?
Everyone seems to spout it as fact, but is there really evidence to back it up other than him seeming like a nice, affable chap?
I don't think it's predicated on Hodgson's character. However if he comes in then he will have to accept the job on certain terms. The fear is those terms are likely - I'd say certain - to be far more constrained than they were before the club acquired £350m of debt/was looted of £350m, i.e. the terms Rafa was working under.
Also, as a new manager that many of the fans are at least unenthused by, he will have far less power than the man who won the European Cup with the club and who has built up a strong rapport with many supporters.
In short, he'll be accepting the job with far more strings attached and he hasn't got a powerbase among supporters which he can mobilise to put pressure on the board.
So while his character may not be that of a yes man (and he probably isn't one because you don't get as far as he has for as long as he has simply by sucking up to those in power), his room for manoeuvre will be so constrained that it would make little or no difference than if he were one.
. Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
