Leeds United and Sunderland won't be easy acts to follow, but they've at least left the blueprints for survival behind for the likes of Coventry City to follow next season.
The Sky Blues look to be following it every step of the way if recent reports are anything to go by, too. In an attempt to get their business underway in style, the newly-promoted side have launched contact to sign Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek from AC Milan this summer.

Although the Sky Blues are still looking to get their business underway, reports suggest that they could yet do so in style by reuniting Frank Lampard, Tomori and Loftus-Cheek.
Coventry launch contact to sign Loftus-Cheek & Tomori
According to Italian journalist Carlo Pellegatti, as relayed by Sport Witness, Coventry have made contact with Tomori and Loftus-Cheek over a potential summer move.
"Here, there’s some news from England, there’s some good news from England. Last season, Frank Lampard’s Coventry won the Championship. Well, Frank Lampard knows both Tomori and Loftus-Cheek very well, having had them at Chelsea." - Pellegatti
AC Milan have also already green-lit departures for both players and are willing to accept a discounted price to push them out of the San Siro as soon as possible.
Coventry should go all out for Tomori and Loftus-Cheek
As far as statement signings go, it doesn't get much better than a Premier League winner and a Serie A winner as far as a newly-promoted club is concerned.

Coventry have the chance to commence their summer business in style and at a discount by welcoming two players that Lampard already knows incredibly well.
Tomori particularly stands out. Whilst his time at Milan has become more frustrating in the last 18 months, this is still very much a player who was at the heart of their Scudetto win in the 2021/22 campaign. He would transform Lampard's backline.
