Mike Bailey the clown blabbering to the media yet again. Just shut up you incompetent fool.
Honestly…
I have no dog in this fight, however, I do know Mike Bailey whom I met a very long time ago when he was with Western Suburbs. A nicer man you would not meet and has always had the best interest of the club at heart.
To call him an incompetent fool says more about you than him.
Honestly.
Incompetent fool and nice guy are two very different concepts. I have never met the guy thought can see that he probably is a nice guy. Lets be real though nice guy is not on the list of 'Critical requirements' or 'must haves' on the position description of chairman
Incompetent sounds harsh. Having said that, competence can only be assessed vs the requirements of a position. So first Mikes competence needs to be assessed against what is required of a chairman.
Perhaps some context on the role of a chariman may help us assess his competence
Critical requirements:
*Ability to lead and manage the other board members
*Previous applicable experience such as leadership or functional expertise which will add value to the direction of the organisation
*Proven track record - only the best become board members
*Successful experience similar organisation
So, relative to the role Mike it is unlikely that we would assess him as competent. Thus the oppositive of competent becomes applicable.
So that leaves us with the word fool. A tough one as it is used with venom above. However a fool is merely someone that make foolish decisions frequently. The decision to be a chairman of a major football club without fitting the critical requirements of the role feels like a foolish decision. Many of the things that have come out of the Tigers feel like foolish decisions. .
I am confident he has good intentions. I am confident that many people have the best of intentions. Unfortunately intentions and performance are not closely correlated.
Next time, lets hire on something other than nice guy and good intentions.
