madras Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Chris Sutton was the Andy Carroll of his day, Batty was a league winner, Flowers was one of the top rated English keepers of his era. chris sutton was still deciding wheteher he wanted to play up front or centre half. none of the supposed top clubs came in for him as opposed to blackburn beating them off. batty was a league winner...so was lee chapman, doesn't mean the bigger clubs wanted him. blackburn bought but biought well as opposed to doing a chelsea and beating everyone else off with cash.

wacko Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Flowers? Sutton? Batty? Even the likes of Paul fucking Warhurst! Any decent British player (this was mainly before English sides started scouring Europe on a regular basis) available and Blackburn were sniffing. Blackburn were the classic example of a team buying success. So are Citeh, and Chelsea and ManU. Many managers have been able to splurge massively over the years, but it doesn't necessarily mean success. It has worked for Fergie and Mourinho because they know what they're doing, but it didn't work for Hughes or Ranieri. Souness spunked £50m at SJP and was a complete disaster. At our place, Hodgson spent £24m in one transfer window and took the side about 50 steps backwards... I agree that having had a metric fuckton of cash to spend is certainly an asterisk next to Kenny's achievements at Blackburn, but it absolutely doesn't warrant dismissing his contribution to their success. Perhaps Kenny is that type of manager that can only do a good job if he has lots of cash to spend, but relatively speaking we are one of those clubs. Would Blackburn have done so well with Hodgson at the helm? Would they fuck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he emphatically demonstrated that he wasn't capable of leaving behind his mid-table, park-the-bus-and-lump-it mentality behind. It was reasonable to believe that a manager of his experience and relative success would rise to the challenge, but he had apparently forgotten that the long ball is a compromise strategy when you can't compete on quality, not the best way to play football when you have and can afford players who can really play.
