Season summary Manchester City sacked manager Peter Reid just four games into the season, and quickly confirmed Brian Horton of Oxford United as his replacement. City were a competitive, attacking side during Reid's three seasons as manager, when they finished fifth in his first two seasons and ninth in the next campaign. But under Horton, they found it increasingly difficult to find the net - just 36 goals were scored in the league all season, and no player scored more than 6 goals. The mid-season sale of David White to Leeds United robbed them of one of their last quality performers, and his replacement David Rocastle (signed from Leeds in a separate deal) failed to live up to expectations. Despite their lack of goals, City avoided the drop and finished 16th - their lowest finish since relegation in 1987. Horton sought to reverse this decline by bringing in Nicky Summerbee, Uwe Rösler and Paul Walsh, while David Rocastle moved to Chelsea after less than a year at Maine Road. Kit City introduced a home and third kit for the season, opting to retain the away kit following the traditional pattern of only replacing home and away kits in alternating seasons. The new home kit featured another pseudo-holographic pattern, this time of large Umbro diamonds from the chest to the left shoulder. The third kit simply adopted the away shirt's pinstripes but altered the colours to deep navy blue on white background. Umbro and Brother remained the kit manufacturers and sponsors respectively. For this season, City never played in a Centenary shirt to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the club adopting the name Manchester City. The kit featured very thin pinstripe diagonal lines instead of the Umbro diamonds of the main shirt, and replaced the club badge with the coat of arms of the city of Manchester itself, ensconced in a laurel wreath and featuring a motto which simply read the club's name and the years of the centenary, the centenary crest was designed by former souvenir shop owner Eddie Phillips and his son Michael Phillips. none center _mcfc_home_93-95 _mcfc_home_93-95 _mcfc_home_93-95 _mcfc_home_93-95 _mcfc_home_93-95 Home none center _mcfc_home_94_centenary _mcfc_home_94_centenary _mcfc_home_94_centenary _mcfc_home_93-95 _mcfc_home_93-95 Centenary none center _mcfc_away_92-94 _mcfc_away_92-94 _mcfc_away_92-94 _mcfc_away_92-94 _mcfc_away_92-94 Away none center _mcfc_third_93-95 _mcfc_third_93-95 _mcfc_third_93-95 _mcfc_third_93-95 _mcfc_third_93-95 Third Final league table 1993–94 FA Premier League MCI Results summary 6 9 6 23 22 3 8 10 14 27 March 2022 Results Manchester City's score comes firsthttp://www.statto.com/football/teams/manchester-city/1993-1994 Manchester City 1993-1994 Home - statto.com 17 May 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20120517035313/http://www.statto.com/football/teams/manchester-city/1993-1994 17 May 2012 live dmy-all Legend WinDrawLoss FA Premier League DateOpponentVenueResultAttendanceScorers 14 August 1993 Leeds UnitedH1–132,366Flitcroft 17 August 1993 EvertonA0–126,036 21 August 1993 Tottenham HotspurA0–124,535 24 August 1993 Blackburn RoversH0–225,185 27 August 1993 Coventry CityH1–121,537Sheron 1 September 1993 Swindon TownA3–114,300Vonk, Mike, Quinn 11 September 1993 Queens Park RangersH3–024,445Quinn, Sheron, Flitcroft 20 September 1993 WimbledonA0–18,481 25 September 1993 Sheffield UnitedA1–020,067Sheron 4 October 1993 Oldham AthleticH1–121,401Sheron 16 October 1993 ArsenalA0–029,567 23 October 1993 LiverpoolH1–130,403White 1 November 1993 West Ham UnitedA1–316,605Curle 7 November 1993 Manchester UnitedH2–335,155Quinn (2) 20 November 1993 Norwich CityA1–116,626Quinn 22 November 1993 ChelseaA0–010,128 27 November 1993 Sheffield WednesdayH1–323,416Sheron 4 December 1993 Leeds UnitedA2–333,821Griffiths, Sheron 8 December 1993 EvertonH1–020,513Griffiths 11 December 1993 Tottenham HotspurH0–221,566 18 December 1993 Blackburn RoversA0–218,741 28 December 1993 SouthamptonH1–124,712Phelan 1 January 1994 Newcastle UnitedA0–235,585 15 January 1994 ArsenalH0–025,642 22 January 1994 LiverpoolA1–241,872Griffiths 5 February 1994 Ipswich TownH2–128,188Griffiths, Flitcroft 12 February 1994 West Ham UnitedH0–029,118 19 February 1994 Coventry CityA0–411,735 22 February 1994 Aston VillaA0–019,254 26 February 1994 Swindon TownH2–126,360Rocastle, Horlock (own goal) 5 March 1994 Queens Park RangersA1–113,474Rocastle 12 March 1994 WimbledonH0–123,981 19 March 1994 Sheffield UnitedH0–025,448 26 March 1994 Oldham AthleticA0–016,464 29 March 1994 Ipswich TownA2–213,099Rösler, Walsh 2 April 1994 Aston VillaH3–026,075Beagrie, Walsh, Rösler 4 April 1994 SouthamptonA1–016,377Karl 9 April 1994 Newcastle UnitedH2–133,774Walsh, D Brightwell 16 April 1994 Norwich CityH1–128,010Rösler 23 April 1994 Manchester UnitedA0–244,333 30 April 1994 ChelseaH2–233,594Rösler, Walsh 7 May 1994 Sheffield WednesdayA1–133,733Rösler FA Cup 1993–94 FA Cup +RoundDateOpponentVenueResultAttendanceGoalscorersR38 January 1994 Leicester CityH4–122,613Ingebrigtsen (3), KernaghanR429 January 1994 Cardiff CityA0–120,486 League Cup 1993–94 Football League Cup +RoundDateOpponentVenueResultAttendanceGoalscorersR2 1st leg22 September 1993 ReadingH1–19,280WhiteR2 2nd leg6 October 1993 ReadingA2–1 (won 3–2 on agg)10,052Lomas, QuinnR326 October 1993 ChelseaH1–016,713WhiteR41 December 1993 Nottingham ForestA0–022,195R4R15 December 1993 Nottingham ForestH1–214,117 Squad 1 ENG GK Tony Coton 2 ENG DF Andy Hill 3 IRL DF Terry Phelan 4 ENG MF Steve McMahon 5 ENG DF Keith Curle captain 6 NED DF Michel Vonk 7 ENG MF David Rocastle 8 ENG FW Mike Sheron 9 IRL FW Niall Quinn 10 ENG MF Garry Flitcroft 11 WAL FW Carl Griffiths 12 ENG DF Ian Brightwell 13 WAL GK Martyn Margetson 14 ENG MF Paul Lake 15 IRL DF Alan Kernaghan 16 ENG FW Steve Finney 17 ENG MF Mike Quigley 18 ENG DF David Brightwell 19 JAM MF Fitzroy Simpson 20 NED MF Alfons Groenendijk 21 NIR MF Steve Lomas 22 ENG DF Richard Edghill 23 SCO MF David Kerr 24 ENG FW Adie Mike 25 WAL GK Andy Dibble 26 NOR MF Kåre Ingebrigtsen 27 ENG DF Rae Ingram 28 GER FW Uwe Rösler 29 ENG DF John Foster 30 ENG FW Paul Walsh 31 GER MF Steffen Karl on loan from Borussia Dortmund 32 ENG MF Peter Beagrie Out on loan during season 26 NOR MF Kåre Ingebrigtsen to Rosenborg until October 1993 Left club during season 7 ENG FW David White to Leeds United 11 ENG MF Rick Holden to Oldham Athletic 16 ENG MF Peter Reid player-manager; to Southampton 28 ENG MF Carl Shutt on loan from Birmingham City References 32em Category:Manchester City F.C. seasons Manchester City
