5. Middlesbrough – Relegated in the 1996/97 Season
Another English club gets to our list of those Top 10 Football Clubs That Were Too Good To Be Relegated. Indeed Middlesbrough was too good to be relegated, with good players like Brazilian midfielder Emerson and one of the then best forwards Fabrizio Ravanelli and more good players with no doubt indeed they were a good team more to prove this, the Boros played finals of both the League Cup and the FA Cup that very season but things went south as they were relegated at the end as they finished in the 19th position.
Although the English Football Association had docked three points off from them for postponing a fixture against the once Premier League winners Blackburn Rovers at short notice.
