Pork Talk were discussing this, and relating it to their club. But I think it relates better to us. "an employee who rises to his level of incompetence" is very apt. "a super competent employee is held back in a minimal role, as the heirachy are intimidated by him, and fear for their own role in the heirachy" . Here's the wiki page for the theory - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Principle . What do you reckon? Because I read it, then related it to BFC, and thought of Wiseman/McNulty/Done, and Hassell.
You read Bobbys article in the Chronicle and you think 'yes we can win on Saturday' then you turn the page and read Hills and think 'why the hell should we bother turning up'
