Season summary
editDespite hopes for an immediate return to the top flight, their 2004–05 Championship campaign began dismally, and at one point the side sunk as low as 19th place. Following a 0–1 defeat at Gillingham, a side Wolves had beaten 6–0 just 18 months previous, Jones was sacked at the beginning of November.[1]
Another former England coach was hired the following month, as Glenn Hoddle was appointed on a rolling one-year contract.[2] Under Hoddle, Wolves lost only one of their final 24 league games, but drew 15 to finish ninth in the final table – not enough to qualify for the play-offs.

Football League Championship
editA total of 24 teams competed in the Championship during the 2004–05 season. Each team would play every other team twice, once at their stadium, and once at the opposition's. Three points were awarded to teams for each win, one point per draw, and none for defeats.

Kit
editThe season saw a new kit manufacturer as Le Coq Sportif began a two-year merchandising deal.[31] Chaucer Consulting began a five-year run as the club's shirt sponsor.[32] This meant new home and away kits were produced; the away kit was a navy blue shirt with white shorts and socks.[33]
