The1996–97 FA Premier League (known as theFACarling Premiership for sponsorship reasons) was the fifth season of theFA Premier League since its formation in 1992. The majority of the season was contested by the reigning champions,Manchester United, along withNewcastle United,Arsenal andLiverpool. The title was eventually won by Manchester United, after Liverpool's and Newcastle's failure to win in their penultimate games of the season; at 75 points it is the lowest points total for a Premier League champion club and lowest since the3-1-0 points system was introduced in the1981–82 season.

Middlesbrough, who had high-profile foreign players likeJuninho,Emerson,Fabrizio Ravanelli (who scored 31 goals in all competitions),Branco andGianluca Festa, were relegated on the final day of the season and were on the losing side in both theFA Cup final and theLeague Cup final. Middlesbrough finished in 19th place, but would have been placed 14th without a three-point deduction imposed for unilaterally postponing a 21 December 1996 fixture atBlackburn Rovers, with the Middlesbrough board making the decision due to the absence of 23 players ill or injured.[3][4] The club consulted the Premier League prior to calling off the fixture and was told to do 'what they thought best'. To protect the integrity of the game, and avoid fielding a team of untried teenagers including three goalkeepers, Middlesbrough called off the match. The Premier League subsequently absolved itself of all responsibility and deducted the three points. This sanction meantCoventry City, who had been in the top division since 1967, finished in 17th place and avoided relegation. The decision was controversial, and later resurfaced in 2006–07 whenWest Ham escaped a points deduction and subsequently avoided relegation.

Another relegation place went toNottingham Forest, who sacked managerFrank Clark in December.Stuart Pearce took over as temporary player-manager, spending three months in charge and winning the January 1997 Manager of the Month award. In March, Pearce quit as manager to be replaced byDave Bassett, formerly of Crystal Palace. Also relegated, due to a 1–0 defeat to Wimbledon in their last game of the season, wasSunderland, who were leavingRoker Park after 99 years and relocating to the 42,000-seatStadium of Light on the banks of theRiver Wear for the start of the 1997–98 season inDivision One.

Teams

[edit]

Twenty teams competed in the league – the top seventeen teams from the previous season and the three teams promoted from theFirst Division. The promoted teams wereSunderland,Derby County (both teams returning to the top flight after a five-year absence) andLeicester City (immediately returning to the top flight after a season's absence). This was also both Sunderland and Derby County's first season in the Premier League. They replacedManchester City,Queens Park Rangers andBolton Wanderers, who were relegated to theFirst Division after a top flight presence of seven, thirteen and one year respectively.
