Page "Blackburn Rovers F.C." Paragraph 2

In 1992, Blackburn was promoted to the new Premier League a year after being taken over by local steel baron Jack Walker, who installed Kenny Dalglish as manager.

In 1995, Blackburn became league champions, having spent millions of pounds on players like Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton.

However, the title-winning team was quickly split up and, in 1999, the club was relegated.

It was promoted back to the Premier League two years later, just after Walker's death.

During this time it has qualified for the UEFA Cup four times: once as League Cup winners, twice as the Premier League's sixth-placed team and once via the Intertoto Cup.

The 2009 – 10 season marked the club's 70th non-consecutive year in the top flight.

Blackburn are currently one of only five clubs to have won the Premier League, along with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City.
