December 4, 201312 yr How about a real BIG " There's Only One Yogi Hughes" from the Main and North Stand at the next home game. Let's make the man feel wanted and show him real Highland hospitality!
December 4, 201312 yr Author Well you can sit on yer hands and suck a lolly if you want - no problem!
December 4, 201312 yr Welcome to the Highlands Mr Hughes lets hope you take all 3 points up the A9 on Saturday
December 4, 201312 yr Aye, welcome Yogi! seemed to say all the right things during his interview, acknowledged how well the team were doing and said he not have to do much, just keep this spirit as is. Good enough for me.
December 4, 201312 yr Welcome! Really looking forward to Saturday. What Yogi related songs can we sing to welcome him at the Midden?
December 4, 201312 yr Welcome to the Highlands Mr Hughes, may your time here be successful and prosperous.

December 4, 201312 yr How about holding back on the adulation until he's justified it. Confusing a welcome and adulation? spelt different for a start...
December 4, 201312 yr A warm welcome to Inverness Mr Hughes!!! I hope your stay is long and successful and that your achievements with ICT surpass those who have preceded you. Ceud Mile Failte!
December 4, 201312 yr A very warm welcome to the cold and wintry city of Inverness - the future seems bright ;)
December 5, 201312 yr Good luck to him! He has everything to succeed with this team. I have confidence in him and in his ability to help the club to see even higher.
December 5, 201312 yr Give the man a chance! After seeing his and Richie Foran's interviews I'm confident we will continue to be among the best of the rest. I believe Hartley ruled himself out as he was not prepared to move north. At least Yogi seems to like the place and the players appear to have welcomed him to the stadium.

I believe Hartley ruled himself out as he was not prepared to move north. At least Yogi seems to like the place and the players appear to have welcomed him to the stadium. I don't buy the 'ruling himself out' argument. He's been here on football duty before, isn't daft and has relocated to Aberdeen and Bristol before. All while he's had kids. He knew it's full-time at Inverness and would have to move here. It would be strange to apply for a job you didn't want. I think he was simply overlooked.
December 5, 201312 yr I was under the impression that PH had split from his wife and wanted to remain near his child/children. Either way, it doesn't matter, we have John now and I think he'll do well.
December 5, 201312 yr Welcome! Really looking forward to Saturday. What Yogi related songs can we sing to welcome him at the Midden? We are the team that you all know, Caley, Thistle We are the team that you all know, Yogi's ICT Yogi's ICT, Yogi's ICT We are the team that you all know, Yogi's ICT. To this tune. I won't be giving up the day job!!
December 5, 201312 yr I was under the impression that PH had split from his wife and wanted to remain near his child/children. Either way, it doesn't matter, we have John now and I think he'll do well. If that was the case, why did he bother to show interest in the job? Generally. people don't apply for jobs they've no intention of going to. I don't think Paul Hartley has resigned himself to his future management career being excluded to the central belt. If he got offered the Forest or Watford jobs, for example, he'd be off! That'll make us look like complete mugs. Paul Hartley is an ambitious manager. He's quoted as saying he wants to manage in the English Premiership, eventually. He wanted the Inverness job. But something blocked him from committing. Kenny Cameron is a chairman of high regard. He doesn't speak out of turn or shows his cards. But even he initially said we'd have the new guy in place by the Morton game. But things clearly took a turn. For a club who have revealed little or nothing during the recruitment process, it suggests an appointment was imminent. But the assumed appointment of Hartley didn't materialise. Something has gone wrong along the way for us to 'settle' for Hughes. I fail to understand this if the calibre of candidate was 'so high'! Let's be honest, if OTB had sacked Adams and appointed Hughes, we'd not suddenly be in awe and jealous or overly concerned that County had bagged the hottest property?! I guarantee we'd be mocking them. Our board usually makes good decisions but have also been guilty of getting it wrong. Appointing Brewster 2nd time shows they can be accused of completely choosing the wrong candidate. That's all I'm saying.
December 5, 201312 yr Why does he get called Yogi ? I wondered that too. The original "Yogi" was John Hughes of the Lisbon Lions. They called him Yogi because he was big, strong and a bit like a bear. Our manager is nicknamed "Yogi" simply because he has the same name as the original Yogi!
