A very poor start to the season saw |
Barring the opening-day 2–1 home defeat to [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]], Sheffield Wednesday were in the bottom three all season long. A very poor start to the season saw the club fail to win any of their first nine league games (gaining just one solitary point away to Premier League newcomers [[Bradford City A.F.C.|Bradford City]]) and an 8–0 hammering at the hands of [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]] in September |

The cups offered little respite, with the Owls getting to the fourth round of the League Cup before losing to Division One side [[Bolton Wanderers F.C.|Bolton Wanderers]], while in the FA Cup they needed a replay to beat [[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.|Wolverhampton Wanderers]] (albeit the first leg only ended in a draw thanks to a Wolves goal that replays showed had been awarded incorrectly), before suffering a humiliating exit to Division Two side [[Gillingham F.C.|Gillingham]]. |
||
Despite this, chairman [[Dave Richards]] steadfastly refused to sack manager [[Danny Wilson (footballer, born 1960)|Danny Wilson]], and his patience was rewarded with an improved run of form after Christmas, which saw just one defeat in five games. However, the team's form slumped once again after that, and Richards departed to become chairman of the Premier League early in 2000. The remaining directors decided that enough was enough and on 21 March, Wilson's managerial contract was terminated,<ref>{{cite news|title=Owls sack Wilson|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sport/football/fa_carling_premiership/685121.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|date=21 March 2000|access-date=14 July 2012}}</ref> three days after an appalling 1–0 defeat away to a struggling [[Watford F.C.|Watford]] side who had previously won only once in their previous 20 league games. |
|||
[[Peter Shreeves]], who had previously been assistant to Wilson's predecessor, [[Ron Atkinson]], took temporary charge, and kept the Owls in contention for survival right up to the penultimate day of the season. A failure to beat [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] confirmed their relegation after nine successive seasons of top division football, but they did manage a 3–3 draw at [[Arsenal Stadium|Highbury]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sport/football/fa_carling_premiership/742563.stm |title=Sheffield Wednesday relegated |date=9 May 2000 |publisher=BBC Sport |access-date=11 December 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160112184410/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sport/football/fa_carling_premiership/742563.stm |archive-date=12 January 2016 |url-status=live }}</ref> [[Bradford City A.F.C.|Bradford City]] manager [[Paul Jewell]] was then given the uphill task of restoring Premier League football to the club, though the club's mounting debts triggered fears that further struggles would lie ahead. |

The 1999–2000 season was Sheffield Wednesday's 133rd season in existence. They competed in the twenty-team Premier League, the top tier of English football. The club finished nineteenth and were relegated from the Premier League for the first time.
Season summary
[edit]Barring the opening-day 2–1 home defeat to Liverpool, Sheffield Wednesday were in the bottom three all season long. A very poor start to the season saw the club fail to win any of their first nine league games (gaining just one solitary point away to Premier League newcomers Bradford City) and an 8–0 hammering at the hands of Newcastle United in September [1] saw most people tip the club as favourites for relegation, and this opinion was further strengthened by their failure to make a substantial improvement as the season went on as they won just once in their first 17 games (twice in their first 20). The cups offered little respite, with the Owls getting to the fourth round of the League Cup before losing to Division One side Bolton Wanderers, while in the FA Cup they needed a replay to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers (albeit the first leg only ended in a draw thanks to a Wolves goal that replays showed had been awarded incorrectly), before suffering a humiliating exit to Division Two side Gillingham.
Despite this, chairman Dave Richards steadfastly refused to sack manager Danny Wilson, and his patience was rewarded with an improved run of form after Christmas, which saw just one defeat in five games. However, the team's form slumped once again after that, and Richards departed to become chairman of the Premier League early in 2000. The remaining directors decided that enough was enough and on 21 March, Wilson's managerial contract was terminated,[2] three days after an appalling 1–0 defeat away to a struggling Watford side who had previously won only once in their previous 20 league games.
Peter Shreeves, who had previously been assistant to Wilson's predecessor, Ron Atkinson, took temporary charge, and kept the Owls in contention for survival right up to the penultimate day of the season. A failure to beat Arsenal confirmed their relegation after nine successive seasons of top division football, but they did manage a 3–3 draw at Highbury.[3] Bradford City manager Paul Jewell was then given the uphill task of restoring Premier League football to the club, though the club's mounting debts triggered fears that further struggles would lie ahead.
