 The 1991–92 season, the last in the old First Division before the launch of the Premier League, was another disappointing one for Coventry.Their first few games included home defeats to Manchester City and Wimbledon but also a surprise away win at Arsenal, with newly-signed Zimbabwean Peter Ndlovu scoring his first goal for the club.They were in fourth place after nine games, but a slump followed and Butcher, whose retirement as a player had led to a contract dispute, was dismissed in January.
