Arsenal had a disappointing season in 1994-1995, finishing 12th in the Premier League, their lowest position since 1976. They struggled to score goals and spent much of the season in mid-table mediocrity. Despite being just six points above relegation, they were a significant 38 points behind champions Blackburn Rovers. Their FA Cup and League Cup runs ended early, and they lost the Super Cup Final to AC Milan. The season was marked by off-field issues, including Paul Merson's admission of addiction and George Graham's sacking and subsequent ban for financial misconduct. Stewart Houston took over as manager but couldn't prevent a run of poor results, leaving Arsenal in danger of relegation. However, they secured their Premier League status with a late surge. In the European Cup Winners' Cup, Arsenal reached the final but lost to Real Zaragoza after a dramatic extra-time goal from Nayim. In the end, their Jersey was the absolute highlight of the season. Bruce Rioch took over as Arsenal manager in June 1995, tasked with revitalizing a team that had finished 12th in the previous Premier League season. Coming from Bolton Wanderers, where he achieved promotion to the Premier League and defeated Arsenal in the FA Cup, Rioch aimed to implement a more attacking style with new signings like David Platt and Dennis Bergkamp, the latter setting a club-record transfer fee. Arsenal started strongly but struggled after a loss in the North London Derby, winning only three of the next twelve league games and exiting both the FA Cup and League Cup disappointingly. Despite these setbacks, Rioch steadied the team, guiding them to a 5th-place finish and UEFA Cup qualification. The season showed defensive improvement and positive attendance figures, indicating progress. However, conflicts arose between Rioch and key players like Ian Wright, leading to unrest. Disagreements over transfer policies with vice-chairman David Dein further strained relations, resulting in Rioch's abrupt dismissal just before the start of the next season, ending his tenure as the shortest for an Arsenal manager in over a century.
