From being league champions in 1936/37 to getting relegated in 1937/38

Manchester City’s campaign in 1937 threw up some interesting fugures as they finished the league as the top scorers with 80 goals in 42 games. The following season, City also conceded 77 goals, leaving legendary manager Wilf Wild astonished at such a dramatic turnaround.

In doing so, the Sky Blues became the only team in history to finish the season with a positive goal difference (+3) and subsequently get relegated in the same season.

To make it worse for the City fans, United clinched promotion that same season and Matt Busby, incidentally a former City player took reigns at Old Trafford after the war was over and the rest is history.
