During the 1991–92 English football season, Swindon Town F.C. competed in the Football League Second Division.
In the 1991–92 season, Hoddle's first full season in charge saw a complete change in fortune where in November Swindon were at the top of the table. Unfortunately though, a run of two defeats and then six draws on the bounce saw Swindon slip out of the play-off places, and though they made their way back up the table, four defeats in early March put them just off the pace. Blackburn then attempted to put a huge dent in Swindon's promotion push - making an offer of £800,000 for 32-goal Shearer - and it was an offer that cash-strapped Swindon couldn't afford to refuse. Shearer left, and Swindon scored just seven goals in the nine games that followed, finishing eighth.
