During the 1994–95 English football season, Coventry City F.C. competed in the FA Premier League.

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 9 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]
