Season summary
Jamaica manager John Barnes was appointed as Tranmere manager in mid-June,[1] but only lasted until October. The Birkenhead club won only three of their first 14 games, culminating in a 5-0 loss at Millwall, with Barnes and his assistant Jason McAteer sacked six days later.[2] Long-standing physio Les Parry was announced as caretaker manager, and was appointed permanently in December after winning 18 points during his time in charge.[3] An away win at Stockport County on the last day of the season secured Tranmere's survival in League One, by a single point.
