Bradford City 2001-02 football season
During the 2001–02 English football season, Bradford City competed in the First Division.
In the 2001–02 season, Bradford had high hopes of a return to the top flight following relegation last season, but it did not materialise, and on 24 December after an inconsistent run of results, boss Jim Jefferies resigned much to the chairman's fury, who branded Jefferies a "quitter".[ 1] Chesterfield boss Nicky Law was then installed as their new manager on 1 January on a two-and-a-half-year contract and his assistant Ian Banks joined amongst the coaching staff.[ 2] Results didn't improve too much though and Bradford ended up finishing in a disappointing 15th place.
Bradford City's kit was manufactured by the club's own brand, BCFC Leisure, and sponsored by Bradford -based car dealership JCT600 .[ 3]
