They played the season in the second tier of the English football system, the Football League First Division.

The team had sat in the automatic promotion spots for the majority of the campaign, but a late slump in form saw local rivals West Bromwich Albion pip them to second place.http://www.wsc.co.uk/wsc-daily/1029-The-season-when/8424-wolves-capitulate-in-division-one-2001-02 Wolves capitulate in Division One, 2001-02 When Saturday Comes 14 March 2012 3 July 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130408071012/http://www.wsc.co.uk/wsc-daily/1029-The-season-when/8424-wolves-capitulate-in-division-one-2001-02 8 April 2013 dead dmy-all Defeat to Norwich City in the semi-finals then ended their hopes of returning to the top flight for the first time since 1984.https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/1963679.stm How Wolves threw it away BBC Sport 2 May 2002 The club had spent in excess of £11 million before and during the season to try to achieve promotion, in this, manager Dave Jones' first full season in charge.
