Dof means all the power to make football decision has to be given up by woodward or hire a yes man. If he just wants a fall guy for his decisions then he can hire me or you. A proper dof will ask power to spend, which woodward/glazers wont give cause of economic reasons. Finding the right yes man is taking time.
Right, so how do you know the thought process? Are you involved at the club? Have you been privy to information from meetings that indicate this? Have the club released a statement indicating this?
I could say that there is a poster on a forum called Maradona10 who doesn't know what he's talking about and shouldn't be allowed to post on Internet forums anymore. If that were the case, would you expect me to have to back up these claims with actual evidence that I know what I'm talking about or would you just accept a ban because it's OK to think that I can just say what I want and people should believe me?
I've seen absolutely no evidence that lack of finding a yes man has anything to do with the decision making or that there is any concern with relinquishing a degree of responsibility. In fact, the club coming out and saying they want to appoint someone but will take the appropriate time to do so seems like a very sensible business decision and one I would expect a large business to make. Take time to get someone who is suitable rather than appointing slmeone for the sake of it.
I'd even argue that hiring managers like LVG and Mourinho gives some credibility to thinking that they aren't looking for yes men. Two managers who are well known for being vocal and to a point even stubborn but had good track records prior to being hired. If I had to make a guess I'd guess that they wanted a successful, strong, knowledgeable person in charge which makes sense given the appointments.
I'm genuinely interested to hear your arguments and evidence to the contrary. I'm not saying you're wrong, in just asking you to educate me because I may very well have missed loads of things that point to this and accept that it could be my ignorance leading me to incorrect beliefs.
