Blackburn Rovers were founder members of the Football League in Blackburn Rovers again reached the F. Cup final on 29 March at the Kennington Oval. The —91 season saw Blackburn Rovers win the F. Cup for the fifth time against Notts County with a 3—1 victory. Blackburn Rovers continued to struggle during the early years of the 20th century, but the results began a gradual improvement.
Major renovations were made to Ewood Park: During the first three decades of the 20th century, Blackburn Rovers were still considered a top side in the English league. They were First Division champions in —12 and —14, and F. A Cup winners in —28 with a 3—1 victory against Huddersfield Town , but the F. A Cup win was their last major trophy for nearly 70 years. Blackburn Rovers maintained a respectable mid-table position in the First Division until they were finally relegated along with Aston Villa from the top flight for the first time since the foundation of the league in the —36 season.
When the league resumed after the war, Blackburn Rovers were relegated in their second season — At this time the tradition of burying a coffin began. The club remained in the second division for the following ten years. After promotion in , they again returned to the mid-table position they had occupied in the earlier part of the century. During this time, they seldom made a serious challenge for a major trophy — although they did reach the FA Cup final when managed by Scot Dally Duncan.
Rovers lost this game 3—0 to Wolverhampton Wanderers after playing most of the game with only 10 men on the field following an injury to Dave Whelan , who broke a leg. There were brief hopes of a return to glory in the —64 season , when a remarkable 8—2 away win over West Ham United in east London on Boxing Day took them to the top of the league. However, their lead of the league was short lived and they finished the season some way down the table as the title was seized by a Liverpool side who would record a further 12 league titles over the next 26 years, while Blackburn's fortunes took a very different route.
They were again relegated from the First Division in and began a year exile from the top division. During the s, Blackburn Rovers bounced between the Second and Third Divisions, winning the Third Division title in , but never mounted a challenge for promotion to the First Division despite the efforts of successive managers to put the club back on track, and fell back into the Third Division in They went up as runners up in the Third Division in and have remained in the upper two tiers of the English league ever since.
A second successive promotion was nearly achieved the following year, but the club missed out on goal difference , and promotion-winning manager Howard Kendall moved to Everton that summer. Kendall's successor, Bobby Saxton only managed mid-table finishes for the next three seasons, then nearly achieved promotion in the —85 season, but a poor finish the following year just one place above relegation followed by an abysmal start to the —87 season cost Saxton his job. Saxton was replaced by Don Mackay , who steered them to a decent finish that season and also victory in the Full Members Cup.
In the following three seasons Mackay re-established Rovers as promotion contenders, but they fell just short of promotion each time; the closest they came was in —89 reached the Second Division play-off final in its last-ever season of the home-away two-legged format — but lost to Crystal Palace. A defeat in the —90 Second Division playoff semi-finals brought more frustration to Ewood Park, but the following season saw the club taken over by local steelworks owner and lifelong supporter Jack Walker — Following the Walker takeover Rovers finished 19th in the Second Division at the end of the —91 season, but the new owner had made millions of pounds available to spend on new players and appointed Kenny Dalglish as manager in October Kenny Dalglish moved upstairs to the position of Director of Football at the end of the Premier League winning season, and handed over the reins to his assistant Ray Harford.
Rovers also struggled in the Champions League and finished bottom of their group with just four points. Relegation looked a real possibility, just two seasons after winning the league. That summer, the manager's job was taken by Roy Hodgson , who joined the club from Internazionale.

However, Rovers made a poor start to the —99 campaign and Hodgson was sacked in December less than an hour after a 2—0 home defeat by bottom side Southampton , a result that locked Rovers in the relegation zone. In — Rovers began the season as promotion favourites, but with the club hovering just above the Division One relegation zone Brian Kidd was sacked in October [30] and replaced in March by Graeme Souness. Fittingly, they returned to the Premier League after a much improved season, finishing second behind Fulham. Souness left just after the start of —05 to take charge at Newcastle , [35] and he was replaced by Welsh national coach Mark Hughes.

Rovers reached the semi-final of the —07 FA Cup , but lost to Chelsea in extra time, and finished that season's league in tenth, qualifying for the Intertoto Cup , which led to a short run in the —08 UEFA Cup. He was replaced by Paul Ince , [37] Ince's first job was to persuade some of the wantaway players to stay.
Despite this, the owners of Blackburn Rovers provided assurances over the continued funding of the club, even if they were relegated.

On 7 May , the club was relegated to the Championship after being defeated at home by Wigan Athletic in the penultimate game of the season, ending eleven years in the Premier League. At the start of the — season, Steve Kean , the manager in charge for the previous relegation season, was given a chance by owners to win promotion and kept his job as the manager.
