Kata siapa Blackburn bukan klub kaya waktu itu di EPL? Jack Walker ngumpulin pemaen2 terbaik di liga saat itu di blackburn. Nih orang emang gak sekaya Roman, tapi karena ngefans berat ma blackburn, dia rela beli saham di blackburn and nyediain dana untuk ngangkat prestasi blackburn. Shearer ma Sutton waktu itu dibeli dengan harga mahal, jadi rekor transfer di inggris. Le Saux ma Tim Sherwood juga gak murah belinya, walaupun kalo dibandingin ma harga pemaen sekarang tentu gak ada apa2nya. Dalam 5 tahun, blackburn diangkat ma Uncle Jack dari posisi 19 di divisi 2 ke juara EPL...
1990's: The Jack Walker revolution Jack Walker's takeover was too late to save Blackburn from finishing a dismal 19th in the Second Division at the end of the 1990-91 season, but the new owner had made millions of pounds available to spend on new players. Blackburn began the 1991-92 season with Don McKay still manager, but he was soon sacked to make way for Kenny Dalglish - who had resigned as Liverpool manager some months earlier, after a six-year spell in charge had yielded five major trophies. Dalglish made several substantial signings during the season and Blackburn reached the playoff final where they beat Leicester City 1-0 thanks to a Mike Newell penalty. Newell, a former Leicester striker, had missed most of the 1991-92 season due to a broken leg, but his stylish comeback was enough to book Blackburn's place in the new Premier League for 1992-93. Blackburn made headlines in the summer of 1992 by paying an English record fee of £3.5million for the 22-year-old Southampton and England centre forward Alan Shearer. Other expensive signings during the 1992-93 season included Chelsea defender Graeme Le Saux, QPR striker Roy Wegerle and Norwich midfielder Tim Sherwood. An impressive Blackburn side remained in the title challenge for most of the season before finishing fourth in the final table, that season not quite enough for UEFA Cup place. Still, it was a remarkable comeback in the top flight after an absence of almost 30 years. Middlesbrough winger Stuart Ripley and Coventry striker Kevin Gallagher were two key signings who helped Blackburn progress in 1993-94 and finish Premiership runners-up to Manchester United. Blackburn broke the English transfer fee record again a few weeks later when paying Norwich City £5million for 21-year-old striker Chris Sutton. hwic> setuju bung, Blackburn waktu itu ga pernah dianggap sebagai klub kaya. hwic> Pertama kali dikenal duet SAS ya di Blackburn ini (Sutton and Shearer) hwic> sebelum jadi SAS part two di timnas England (Shearer and Sheringham). hwic> Kaptennya waktu itu si Colin Hendry, centre back gaek asal Skotlandia yang hwic> kaya' org albino (kulit putih, rambut putih/blond, alis jg hehehe). Ada hwic> juga Jason Wilcox di lini tengah ama Tim Sherwood. Dan mereka bukanlah hwic> pemain2 mahal, karena kalo ga salah emang udah 2 tahun-an lebih membela hwic> the Rovers saat itu. ------------------------ Yahoo!
