#3 Derby County 2007-2008
Trending
Despite beating Newcastle in their sixth Premier League game, the Rams did not win another match all season, going on to lose 25 of their remaining 32 games, a sorry statistic that has never been matched in the Premier League since. But to make things worse, everything was crashing down behind the scenes, too, and manager Billy Davies was soon fired.
A new manager soon stepped in but his appointment proved to worsen things instead and by Boxing Day, Derby County had only managed a meagre seven points from 19 games. Paul Jewell decided to go on a spending spree in an effort to improve the entire team, selling key players of the squad and bringing in many others, players who Jewell thought could bolster the side.
Nothing worked for the Rams, and they managed only four points from 19 games, before being relegated with just 11 points to their names, beating Sunderland’s 2005-2006 record for the lowest points tally. A quick read of their results make for a brutal reading; 6-0 home loss to Aston Villa, 6-1 to Chelsea and even a 4-0 loss to Reading, who themselves were relegated at the end of the season.
