The disaster years. First, relegation from the top-flight only four years after winning the title and then stagnation in the second-tier with a bloated squad. Hodgson was unable to repeat the success of the season before with a number of expensive arrivals failing to produce alongside an ever-increasing injury list. Rovers lost ten of their first fifteen matches and exited the UEFA Cup at the first hurdle in Lyon. Incoming manager Brian Kidd was given a war-chest to arrest the slide and the new manager bounce saw a run of ten games with just one defeat. By mid-February, the rot set back in. Rovers would win only once from an unlucky last thirteen games and were doomed by the time they faced Newcastle on the final day. Almost £40m had been spent on new signings. The less said about the first season back in Division One the better.
