The Dunning-Kruger effect occurs when a person's lack of knowledge and skills in a certain area cause them to overestimate their own competence.
So let’s say you’ve got the money to buy a football club, our club. You’ve never run one before, but you decide to purge a lot of the staff who actually understand what you’ve just bought, the business and Scottish football. This leads you to employing your son as Head of Recruitment, the most important job, after the manager. He knows nothing about Scottish football, or player recruitment either but clearly overestimates his own competence. You go on to employ a CEO who, you’ve guessed it, knows nothing about Scottish football either, and not much about running a Club.
Because you can’t stop overestimating your own competence you sack a manager who’d just returned a third place finish, and replace him with him someone who’d never been a manager before, lo and behold this doesn’t work and he has to be sacked to avoid the specter of relegation. You employ yet another, who as a consequence of the Dunning-Kruger effect that pervades Hibernian, either doesn’t know what he is doing, overestimating his own competence, and/or simply doesn’t have the quality or type of player needed in this League.
This is where we are with Wrong Gordon. Our Club has been bought by and is run by someone who, unfortunately for all of us, doesn’t recognise the Dunning-Kruger Effect. What a mess.
