## Season summary

In the 1992–93 season, Notts County's push for a return to the top flight after relegation the previous season started disappointingly and on 14 January, Warnock was sacked after four years at the club and was replaced by Mick Walker who guided the club to safety to prevent back to back relegations and hope for promotion push next time round.
