On 3rd May 1998 Manchester City were relegated to the third tier of English football. City, which at this time had two league titles and four FA Cups in their trophy room had never been in such a lowly position. The club, now accustomed to dominating word football, would spend a season competing with the likes of York City, Macclesfield Town and Chesterfield.
Former player and now Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ pundit Michael Brown played for the side that got relegated at Stoke City and was an ever-present in the team throughout their season in Division Two.
