Season summary
editA poor first half of the 1993–94 season resulted in Terry Butcher being sacked with the Black Cats in the relegation zone and Mick Buxton was appointed as his successor.[1] A tightening of the team's defence led to an improvement in results and Sunderland finished the season in 12th place.
