Season summary

In the 1991–92 season, Blackburn Rovers began with Don Mackay still manager, but he was soon sacked to make way for Kenny Dalglish. Dalglish made several substantial signings during the season. After his appointment Blackburn climbed up the league table, but later lost six games in a row, causing them to fall out of the play-off places, but Blackburn fought back and a 3–1 victory at Plymouth got Rovers to the final play off place. The club reached the play-off final at Wembley where they beat Leicester City 1–0 thanks to a Mike Newell penalty.

gollark: &why do we have you useless bot
gollark: something somethingcoordination problems
gollark: The verification thing is very bees, though. It takes away from the small bot developers who... probably drive a lot of bot innovation.
gollark: Hmm.
gollark: Hopefully if enough big bot developers do not "verify" they may end up... cancelling it? That is unlikely, though.
