Toadies unsettled enemy round south (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yes men

'toadies' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'unsettled enemy round south' is the wordplay.
'unsettled' indicates an anagram.
'round' indicates putting letters inside.
'south' becomes 'S' (synonyms).
'enemy' with letters rearranged gives 'yemen'.
'yemen' placed around 's' is 'YES-MEN'.

(Other definitions for yes men that I've seen before include "Willing conformers" , "Tools" , "lackeys" , "They obey their bosses" , "Flunkeys" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
