It wasn’t until owner Jack Walker took over the club that the Rovers would find success again. Flush with money, the Rovers made several key moves that allowed them to win the Second Division in 1991-1992 and finally return to the First Division. Walker continued spending money in the summer of 1992, shelling out a then-record 3.2 million pounds for young centre forward Alan Shearer, along with numerous other expensive acquisitions. In 1993-1994, those moves and others paid off for Walker, as the Blue and Whites finished runners-up in the Premiership to Manchester United. During the following off-season, Walker once again emptied his pockets to acquire Chris Sutton. The following season, Walker’s efforts paid off, as the Rovers won the Premiership for the first time since 1914.

Blackburn Rovers Stadium

No club in the Premier League has been in their current home longer than the Blue and Whites have taken the pitch at Ewood Park in Blackburn, Lancashire. Open since 1882 next to the Darwen River, the stadium is comprised of four stands and seats over 31,000. Owner Jack Walker completed massive renovations at the site in 1994 that saw the construction of new, two-tiered stands at Darwen End and Blackburn End, along with the Jack Walker Stand, replacing the Nuttall Street Stand. Only the Riverside Stand remains unchanged.

Blackburn Rovers Manager

Sam Allardyce took over as manager of the Blue and Whites in 2008 after managing Newcastle United from 2007-2008 and the Bolton Wanderers from 1999-2007. Known as “Big Sam,” Allardyce played professionally for the Bolton side that won promotion to the First Division in 1977-1978, as well as in the United States, bringing many American football tactics to the sport known as football to the rest of the world.

Manager Kenny Dalglish moved into a new position of Director of Football after his success as manager of the club, but the Rovers struggled to stay at the top. The club sold Alan Shearer to Newcastle United after the 1994-1995 and relegation followed after the 1998-1999 season. In 2000, Jack Walker died, but the Rovers gained their promotion and won their first League Cup in 2001-2002.

Started in 1875, Blackburn experienced a great deal of success during the 1880s, winning three FA Cups. The Rovers then became one of the 12 founding members of the Football League in 1888, finishing in fourth place in the inaugural season. In 1890, Blackburn purchased Ewood Park during the midst of two more FA Cup wins that included the first hat trick in an FA Cup final, a feat achieved by William Townley.

While the Rovers have never achieved a level of success comparable to Chelsea, Manchester United, or Arsenal, they are one of the few clubs to have been founding members of the Football League and Premier League.

However, the coming years would prove to be much more unkind to the Riversiders. Though they won league titles in 1912 and 1914, their FA Cup win in 1928 would be the last in a long, long time. Mediocrity finally led to relegation in 1935-1936. They managed to return to the First Division after the war, but suffered relegation once again in 1947-1948, remaining in the Second Division for ten years. Promoted in 1958, the Rovers mostly struggled through the following seasons until being relegated again in 1966, the beginning of a period that would see the formerly-proud club spend time in the Second and Third Divisions for 26 years.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Stadium

Molineux Stadium has been home to The Wolves since 1889, when it was rented to the club by a local merchant name Benjamin Molineux. The first league game hosted 4,000 people; fifty-years later the record for attendance was set when 61,315 people watched The Wanderers beat Liverpool 3-1.

The Wolves installed lights in the stadium in 1953, the first club to do so, and that summer Wolverhampton played games against foreign clubs called "floodlight friendlies." Hungary had been embarrassing England in recent World Cup play, so when a Hungarian club visited Molineux for a match under the lights, The Wolves made the most of it and won, prompting manager Stan Cullis to anoint his club "Champions of the World."

In the early 1990’s, Molineux Stadium underwent redevelopment. Neglect and financial difficulties of the previous decade resulted in three sides of the stadium decaying and inaccessible. Today, the grounds have a capacity of 29,000 and there is talk of expanding the stadium to seat 40,000, dependent on the club’s ability to stay in the Premier League.

The Wanderers are an old club, founded in 1877 by a pair of students attending St. Luke’s school before becoming the Wolverhampton Wanderers two years later. In 1888 the club was one of twelve that formed the English Football League.

Stan Cullis, himself a former Wanderer, became manager in 1947. For the first time in forty years, the club earned its first major honor with an FA Cup Final victory. Wolverhampton went on to be the top club of the 1950’s, winning titles in 1953-54, 1957-58 and 1958-59.

A once-proud club has made a return to prominence with a new manager and promotion to the Premier League for 2009-10.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Manager

Mick McCarthy was brought on as manager of the Wolves in 2006 and has propelled the club to the Premier League.

Wolverhampton is the third club McCarthy has managed. His first was Midwall, where he managed from 1992-1996. McCarthy led the Lions to a third place finish on 1993-94, and though the club was 14 points clear of the relegation zone in 1996, he left the club for the Republic of Ireland manager vacancy.

McCarthy guided Ireland to the 2002 World Cup finals, but a clash with ManU midfielder Roy Keane created bad press. The fallout was enough that McCarthy walked in October of the same year, despite propelling Ireland from a Aworld rank of 54 to as high as 13.

After Ireland, McCarthy managed Sunderland and in three short years took the Black Cats from relegation back to the Premier League. The year in Premiership was tough, and with little money to improve his club, McCarthy was sacked with just 10 games remaining.

Now Mick McCarthy has managed the Wolves to the Premier League and has the tools to stay there, with the signing of current striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake through 2013, as well as signing of Reading star Kevin Doyle.

The most dismal period in the history of the Wolverhampton Wanderers began in the early 1980’s. Serious financial difficulties almost resulted in the club’s extinction. The Wolves endured three consecutive relegation’s, sliding into the lowest tier – an embarrassing first in club history. For nineteen years The Wolves played in the lower tiers, emerging into the Premier League just one season before being relegated.

On 18 April, 2009, The Wanderers were promoted to the Premier League with a 1-0 win against Queens Park and clinched their first divisional title in twenty years the next week.
