"Rovers benefactor Jack Walker’s millions undoubtedly facilitated the rise to the top, as Dalglish was able to bring in the likes of Alan Shearer, Chris Sutton, David Batty, Graeme Le Saux, Tim Sherwood and Tim Flowers - but compared to today’s commercialised world of football, the amounts spent by Dalglish were just ‘small fry’."

What has happened to them since they lost their benefactor? You just cannot compare the transfer fees then and now.
