A similar disappointment followed in 1995-96, but in 1996-97 Wilson guided Barnsley to the Premiership as Division One runners-up. It was the first time that the 101-year-old Barnsley Football Club had won promotion to the top division of English football.

They had just finished 16th in the Premiership and five seasons earlier, when Wilson was still on the club's playing staff, they had reached both domestic cup finals and finished sixth in the first ever Premiership. In 1998-99, Wilson guided Sheffield Wednesday to a respectable 12th place in the Premiership and had hopes for a top half finish the following season. But he was sacked the following March, having led the club only toward relegation.
