Season summary

In the 1999-2000 season, Bury had a disappointing campaign after relegation from the second tier of English football the previous season which at one stage saw manager Warnock resigning from his role on 2 December to take over as Sheffield United manager.[1] Andy Preece and Steve Redmond took temporary charge until the end of the season and Bury finished the season in 15th place.
