Chelsea
United
Newcastle
Tottenham.

The reasons are obvious

Kompany signed a new 5 year contract in May so would presumably be very expensive to sack.

Heckinbottom is contract until 25/26 but clearly knows how to get out of the Championship. It wouldn’t surprise me if they are banking on going back down this season and taking the parachute payments and then him getting them promoted again right away by which point he will be back in the Prem with 1 year left on his contract so they can sack him cheaply if they are struggling again back in the Premi.

Arguably they have been massively underperforming for almost 20 years now. They should probably have cemented themselves as a top 6 club in the early Randy Lerner days
