During the 2001–02 English football season, Crystal Palace F.C. competed in the Football League First Division.
Palace turned to Steve Bruce for the 2001–02 season.[1] A good start to the season gave Palace hope for a promotion challenge, but Bruce attempted to walk out on the club after just four months at the helm to take charge of Birmingham City.[2][3] After a short spell on 'gardening leave',[4] Bruce was eventually allowed to join Birmingham City,[5] succeeded by Trevor Francis, who had ironically been his predecessor at Birmingham.[6]
