I'm not sure how that logic works, those 6 clubs (interested in which ones you are referring to) are all much more attractive than us. Look at a club like Palace for example, Roy is out of contract in the summer and things look stale there, Howe would probably be at the top of their shortlist.
Not sure why losing a bunch of finals a decade ago has any relevance to be honest, at present we are a mid table championship side who have tightened the purse strings after relegation, that's how we ended up with the underwhelming appointment of Harris in the first place.
