Not only did Liverpool not make any sort of promotion challenge this season, a terrible start saw them in serious danger of relegation to the Third Division North for much of the season. A late run of form ultimately saw Liverpool safe, but their eventual finish of 11th place remains their lowest-ever Football League final position.
