Season summary
In the 2001β02 season,
Gianluca Vialli was named as Taylor's managerial replacement.
[1] Vialli made several high-profile signings, and wage bills at the club soared, with Vialli himself earning almost a million pounds a year. However, the season was disappointing, with the club finishing 14th in the division, and Vialli was sacked after only one season, having refused to resign.
