AS BLACKBURN Rovers struggle desperately against relegation, I feel the club needs to reflect on the lack of business sense that has prevailed over the past five seasons.
You have only to look at the class of players the club sold and the (I won't use the word "class") type of players it has signed.
It must have seemed ironic to Kenny Dalglish to sit in the stand the other Saturday and see the team he built destroyed by what can best be described as Little Big Men.
Of course, the so-called Messiah from Italy, Roy Hodgson, played a large part in this decline, but I feel the rot had already set in long before he came.
Where, I wonder, would the team be today if only the club had allowed Dalglish the money he wanted to buy the players he needed to strengthen the squad that won the Premiership Trophy.
Certainly not fighting relegation for the second - or is it the third - season?
