I was just noticing earlier the correlation between us, Leicester and Sheffield Wednesday. The 3 clubs that are the biggest bin fires in the league at the moment

All 3 are run by children who have never had a proper job in their lives before, but have been given the clubs by their fathers to give them something to do to keep them out of trouble. All 3 sets of owners are foreign born into luxury lifestyles, so have never understood the nature of work, or human relationships that are based on anything other than providing them service

Yawn. And I’m sure if you look harder than that there will be people with opposite lives owning clubs doing a similar job. You do love a conspiracy correlation

The Lewis kids would have all been born in England.

Where's the 'conspiracy'? He didn't say they all got together and colluded with each other, he pointed out some very direct similarities. Whether you agree or not is something else; it is not a conspiracy theory.

From Merriam-Webster:
conspiracy theories
: a theory that explains an event or set of circumstances as the result of a secret plot by usually powerful conspirators

But you can find many examples of nepo babies improving on their parents work too.

There’s no direct overall correlation here, just a use of anecdotal evidence to fit a predetermined narrative.

(For the record, that’s three four-syllable words in that last sentence. Board record?)

It not a conspiracy theory either.

Its a fairly common thing for kids gifted a business to not have the same verve for the job as their parents who likely grafted and knew the job in and out. I am referencing business and generally here, not Spurs and football.

Often many either want it too much and emotion takes over decision making or they dont want it at all and therefore forge their own path.

Its also infinitely harder to make your first billion than it is to maintain it and even make your second when you are given the rewards of someone else's hard work

There are obviously successes too, but the OP wasn't majorly off track IMO

In our case it looks from the outside that the kids didnt like Levy (maybe due to Joe's fondness) and they made an emotional decision which has IMO backfired on all levels

Ultimately I dont think either could have turned daddies initial 55m into 4bn business, they should be thanking Levy for bolstering their inheritance

It’s more pertaining to historic gutterboyisms
 
Surely this summer is when ENIC demonstrate that it was indeed Levy who refused to loosen the purse strings and we’ll blow €iteh out the water with a British record transfer to secure Elliot Anderson’s signature!

Won’t happen but a Wharton and Anderson midfield pairing would be phenomenal

I think the most relevant part of the nepo-baby argument is that none of the Lewis kids have any top-flight sports team management experience that I’m aware of.

They may have been fantastic in other business areas such as finance or real estate, and I very much doubt Daddy Joe would have given them the keys to the company if they hadn’t have already proven themselves as professionally competent.

My original point was about GB’s post stating that nepo babies are the reason why clubs fail, without much deeper factual evidence than three examples, that’s all.
