About Blackburn
The current team menager is Mark Hughes. The team 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 1992, and in 1995, they became league champions, having spent millions of pounds on players like Chris Sutton and Alan Shearer. Just after Walker's death, the team was promoted back to the Premiership and have been in the top flight ever since. During this time they have qualified for the UEFA Cup four times; once as League Cup winners, twice as the Premiership's sixth-placed team and once via the Intertoto Cup.
