Season summary

In the 1994–95 season, Coventry struggled for most of the campaign despite the £2million arrival of striker Dion Dublin from Manchester United on 10 September, and Neal was sacked on 14 February 1995^[1] despite a 2–0 away win over fellow strugglers Crystal Palace three days earlier, which saw them 17th in the Premier League and two places above the relegation zone.^[2] Neal's successor Ron Atkinson ensured the Sky Blues' survival.^[3]

Kit

Coventry City's kit was manufactured by Pony and sponsored by Peugeot.
