The summer transfer window saw the arrival of nine new recruits in total (seven permanent, two loans) at a cost of £18.5 million. The most notable new addition was Irish international striker Kevin Doyle, signed for a club record fee of £6.5 million from Championship side Reading.{{cite news | date=30 June 2009| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/wolverhampton_wanderers/8125952.stm | title=Wolves make Doyle record signing | work=BBC Sport}} Serbian midfielder Nenad Milijaš was the next most expensive signing, bought to add additional creativity.{{cite news| title =Wolves snap up Serbian midfielder| url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/wolverhampton_wanderers/8099822.stm| work = BBC Sport| date = 15 June 2009}} The summer also saw contract extensions signed by Kevin Foley,{{cite news| title =Foley signs new Wolves contract| url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/w/wolverhampton_wanderers/8085038.stm| work = BBC Sport| date = 5 June 2009}} Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, Jody Craddock{{cite news| title = Craddock agrees new Wolves deal | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/w/wolverhampton_wanderers/8122335.stm| work = BBC Sport| date = 27 June 2009| access-date= 5 December 2009 }} and David Edwards.{{cite news| title = Edwards pens new Wolves contract | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/w/wolverhampton_wanderers/8124210.stm| work = BBC Sport| date = 29 June 2009}}

On the field the players resumed training at their Sir Jack Hayward training ground on 29 June 2009,{{cite news |title=Wolves back to work |url=http://www.wolves.co.uk/page/News/0,,10307~1704954,00.html |publisher=Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C |date=29 June 2009 |access-date=12 January 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100105024824/http://www.wolves.co.uk/page/News/0%2C%2C10307~1704954%2C00.html |archive-date=5 January 2010 |url-status=dead}} before flying out to Perth, Australia on 4 July for a two-week stay where they stepped up their training and played their first two games of pre-season. Preparations were completed with the only home friendly, a game against La Liga side Real Valladolid.

The season proper began with a 0–2 loss to West Ham United in the club's first Premier League fixture in five years. Wolves immediately bounced back by winning on the road at Wigan despite a long injury list, giving the club their first ever away win in the modern Premier League.

A further victory against Fulham put them 12th after six games, but this was their last victory for almost two months - a run which included a home loss to winless Portsmouth. Despite credible draws against the likes of Everton and Aston Villa, the team fell into the relegation zone with a defence unable to keep clean sheets. Heavy defeats followed against "Big 4" sides Arsenal and Chelsea, before a lacklustre home loss to local rivals Birmingham City put manager McCarthy under increasing pressure.

December saw a change of fortune with three wins in four games, including a surprise away success at Tottenham, to help propel the club out of the mire. The month also brought controversy though after manager Mick McCarthy opted to field an entirely new outfield line-up to the one that defeated Spurs when they visited Manchester United three days later.{{cite news| title = McCarthy branded 'disrespectful' over Wolves selection| date=16 December 2009 | work=BBC Sport| url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/wolverhampton_wanderers/8415878.stm| access-date= 12 February 2010 }}{{cite news|title=Wolves manager Mick McCarthy defends team selection |date=16 December 2009 |work=BBC Sport|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8415268.stm |access-date=12 February 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100113111239/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8415268.stm |archive-date=13 January 2010 |url-status=live}} The uproar caused by the decision led to the Premier League requesting an official explanation from the club,{{cite news| title = Premier League asks Wolves to explain team selection| date=16 December 2009 | work=BBC Sport| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/wolverhampton_wanderers/8416359.stm| access-date= 12 February 2010 }} resulting in a £25,000 suspended fine.{{cite news| title=Wolves fined £25,000 over Old Trafford team selection| date=18 February 2009 | work=BBC Sport| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/w/wolverhampton_wanderers/8521603.stm}} 2009 closed with two successive defeats to Liverpool and Manchester City, but enough points to remain above the relegation zone.

The January transfer window saw the club make a club record bid to sign winger Adam Johnson from Middlesbrough,{{cite web |url=http://www.wolves.co.uk/page/News/0,,10307~1953107,00.html |title=CEO's Window Reflections |date=2 February 2010 |publisher=Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C |access-date=12 February 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100205081822/http://www.wolves.co.uk/page/News/0%2C%2C10307~1953107%2C00.html |archive-date=5 February 2010 |url-status=dead}} and a long-winded attempt to lure Stephen Hunt from relegation rivals Hull City.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/h/hull_city/8491554.stm |title=Hull reject Wolves transfer bid for Stephen Hunt |date=1 February 2010 |work=BBC Sport|access-date=12 February 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100204093636/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/h/hull_city/8491554.stm |archive-date=4 February 2010 |url-status=live}} Both bids failed, as did late attempts for young defender Nathaniel Clyne{{cite web|url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11706_5909424,00.html |title=Clyne snubs Wolves move |date=1 February 2010 |publisher=Sky Sports |access-date=12 February 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100204100754/http://www.skysports.com/story/0%2C19528%2C11706_5909424%2C00.html |archive-date=4 February 2010 |url-status=live}} and even a loan offer to former starlet Robbie Keane. With no permanent transfers agreed, the club instead brought in two loan signings, both from Belgian club Charleroi – Adlène Guedioura and Geoffrey Mujangi Bia.{{cite news|title=Wolves sign Adlene Guedioura on loan from Charleroi |date=25 January 2010 |work=BBC Sport|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/wolverhampton_wanderers/8478606.stm |access-date=25 January 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100128105402/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/wolverhampton_wanderers/8478606.stm |archive-date=28 January 2010 |url-status=live}}{{cite news| title = Wolves sign Belgian midfielder Mujangi on loan| date=21 January 2010 | work=BBC Sport| url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/w/wolverhampton_wanderers/8472328.stm}}

The start to 2010 proved equally frustrating on the field with only two points taken from four games, as well as a convincing FA Cup exit at the hands of financially troubled Championship side Crystal Palace. The rot was stopped with a home win over Tottenham, which meant Wolves had completed their first top flight double since the 1980–81 season. Wolves added a second double over Burnley, before a draw at Aston Villa and then a 3–1 victory at fellow strugglers West Ham finished a series of three away game which yielded seven points from a possible nine, giving their chances of avoiding relegation a strong boost.

The team drew four of their five following games, their only defeat coming in the 95th minute away at title challengers Arsenal. This run of points helped assure their Premier League survival. Survival was mathematically confirmed on 25 April 2010 when Burnley failed to beat Liverpool, thus filling the final relegation spot.{{cite news|title=Wolves delighted at survival |date=25 April 2010 |publisher=Sky Sports |url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11699_6116223,00.html |access-date=28 April 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100429074858/http://www.skysports.com/story/0%2C19528%2C11699_6116223%2C00.html |archive-date=29 April 2010 |url-status=live}}

The season was concluded with a 1–3 loss at already-relegated Portsmouth before a final day victory over Sunderland took their points tally to 38, yielding a 15th-place finish. This marked their highest position in the English football system since 1979–80. It also meant the club had survived at the top level for the first time in 29 years. Although they finished the division's lowest goalscorers (with 32), a strong defensive resolve meant they had conceded the least of the bottom 8 (56), creating the formula for their survival.

Wolves took part in their first foreign pre-season tour in five years as they traveled to Perth, Australia to train and play their opening two friendlies against A-League opposition in their first visit to the country since 1972. As had become common in recent years, only their final game was held at their Molineux home. A second "Wolves XI" team largely comprising academy prospects and out of favour senior players also played a series of matches during this period.
