Season summary

Jamaica manager John Barnes was appointed as Tranmere manager in mid-June, 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. 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. An away win at Stockport County on the last day of the season secured Tranmere's survival in League One, by a single point.

Kit
