15. Bournemouth – Maxim Demin – £100m
New to the top flight, Bournemouth have stuck with what they know for the most part instead of falling into the trap of investing significantly in a whole host of new players for the Premier League.
14. Watford – Giampaolo Pozzo – £120m
Pozzo has his hands in different clubs around Europe, but the Watford fans won’t be too concerned after he helped fund their return to the top table.
13. Aston Villa – Randy Lerner – £640m
Lerner is actively looking for a buyer for the club, and Villa are certainly on the path to becoming a more attractive proposition under Tim Sherwood.
12. West Ham – David Sullivan – £850m
Former Birmingham City owner, Sullivan is now invested in the Hammers and will give Slaven Bilic what he needs to ensure they avoid any drama at the wrong end of the table.
11. Stoke City – The Coates Family – £925m
Stoke have become a Premier League fixture and although they have been criticised for their style of play in the past, their owners aren’t short of money and have backed Mark Hughes to change things.
