As i took over as manager of Blackburn Rovers at the beginning of the 01/02 season the fans were shocked to hear the news that Former Rover manager Graeme Souness left the club by mutual consent.The club was in ruins there young stars such as Damien Duff and David Dunn were in 2 minds whether to stay or go to a big club such as Leeds,Chelsea or Leeds and when a unknown Australian took over they both were willing to leave but i made a promise to all Rover fans by saying that we will keep our young talent and we will bring silverware to Ewood park soon.i managed to sign Yorke and Cole from man utd and then i signed David thompson from Coventry,out went mcAteer and bent.more to come!
