The2002–03 season wasStoke City's 96th season inthe Football League and the 36th in thesecond tier.

Stoke now back in the First Division appointed young managerSteve Cotterill prior to the start of the season. Cotterill had got an impressive reputation following his success withCheltenham Town but after just 13 matches in charge he shocked the club by quitting in favour of becoming assistant manager atSunderland.Dave Kevan took over as caretaker untilTony Pulis was appointed in November. His task was to ensure Stoke survived which looked a tough ask as Stoke went 16 matches without a win and when Stoke did manage to get a positive result they lost 6–0 atNottingham Forest. Following that defeat Pulis improved his defence and results were slowly being ground out and it went to the final day of the season againstReading, with Stoke knowing that if they win they will stay up and thanks toAde Akinbiyi they won 1–0 and finished four points above the relegation zone.[1]

Season review

[edit]

League

[edit]

WithGudjon Thordarson failing to gain a new contract the Stoke board moved to appointSteve Cotterill fromCheltenham Town.[1] Cotterill was seen as one of the best young managers in the country and it was hoped that he would be a long term appointment.[2] He brought inChris Greenacre a striker fromMansfield Town where he had been a prolific goalscorer. The season started with a 0–0 draw away atSheffield Wednesday and their first win came at home toBradford City. This was followed by a 4–3 defeat atPreston North End and defeats by Derby and Burnley.[1] Stoke then went five matches unbeaten to lift them away from danger but the club was shocked on 10 October 2002 as Cotterill quit the club in favour of becoming assistant manager atSunderland.[1][3]

Dave Kevan assumed a caretaker manager role and in his four matches in charge Stoke lost them all to start a worrying run of results.[1] The board had expected to appointGeorge Burley as manager but somewhat surprisinglyTony Pulis was the man given the job.[1] Pulis had previously turned down the chance to manage the club in 1999 and his appointment was not a popular one with the supporters.[1] In his first match in charge away atWalsall he received a less than warm welcome and Stoke crashed to a 4–2 defeat.[1] It took Pulis' team nine more matches to register a victory and after it looked as though Stoke could start pulling away from relegation they suffered humiliation by losing 6–0 atNottingham Forest and the survival bid looked grim.[1]

But Pulis signed a number of players on loan which includedAde Akinbiyi,Paul Warhurst,Lee Mills, and goalkeepersSteve Banks andMark Crossley.[1] Pulis made Stoke a difficult team to beat and after three hard-fought goalless draws against teams trying to gain promotion Stoke gained vital victories againstWatford,Rotherham United,Wimbledon andCoventry City.[1] This took the relegation fight to the last day of the season with Stoke needing a victory againstReading to ensure their stay in First Division would be extended.[1] A 55th-minute strike from Ade Akinbiyi sealed the win they needed and Stoke could start building for the future.[1][4]
