Manchester City’s title defence under Manuel Pellegrini Is the first to feature on this list, having finished 15 points behind Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea in third place.
The 2014/15 campaign was blighted with inconsistency for the Chilean’s side, as City conceded 38 goals in the league, and suffered shock losses at home to Stoke City, as well as away defeats to the likes of West Ham United, Crystal Palace and Burnley.
Ultimately, City failed to build on the squad they already had at the Etihad whilst others strengthened, as their three biggest signings that season was Eliaquim Mangala from Porto for £42m, Wilfried Bony from Swansea for £25m and Fernando for £12m from Sevilla.
