Middlesbrough struggled with injuries throughout the 1989–90 campaign, and ended up finishing just one place above the relegation zone, leading to Rioch’s dismissal. They did however manage to beat Port Vale, Sheffield Wednesday, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa to reach Wembley to face Chelsea in the 1990 Full Members Cup Final; this was the club’s first appearance at Wembley. The final itself was to be a disappointment however, with a free-kick from Chelsea’s Tony Dorigo proving to be the only goal of the afternoon. Despite Middlesbrough finishing in 21st-place, Slaven scored 32 goals in all competitions, which led to speculation of a move away from Ayresome Park. He handed in a written transfer request, which was turned down by manager Colin Todd, and Slaven agreed to a new contract and withdrew his transfer request.
