Coventry City's season started promisingly. Despite an opening-day 3-1 home defeat to Middlesbrough, this was followed by back-to-back away victories at Southampton and Manchester City, the first time they won an away league game in 16 months. However, after 34 years and 10 close shaves with relegation, their luck finally ran out and they were relegated from the top flight (the first time the club had suffered relegation for 43 years since they were relegated to the Old Division Four in 1958).

Much optimism followed Coventry's relegation with everyone at the club working hard to attain promotion at the first attempt. These hopes were boosted with the signing of prolific striker Lee Hughes from local rivals West Bromwich Albion.
