The 2019-20 campaign delivered a devastating end for Hull City as The Tigers spectacularly burnt out, finishing a crushing 24th in the Championship which resulted in relegation to the third tier. Despite the heroic efforts of talismanic forward Jarrod Bowen, whose 16 goals were vital to the attack, his mid-season departure to West Ham proved a fatal blow, leading to a catastrophic run of poor form. It was a painful year that marked the club's drop to League One and remains a difficult, defining chapter in their modern history.
