The 2010-11 season was Blackburn Rovers' 123rd season as a professional football club. The 2010-11 season was also Blackburn Rovers' 17th season in the Premier League, and their 10th consecutive season in the top division of English football. In November 2010, the Indian company V H Group bought Blackburn Rovers under the name of Venky's London Limited for £23 million. A few weeks later the new owners sacked manager Sam Allardyce and replaced him with first-team coach Steve Kean, initially on a temporary basis, but by January 2011 he had been awarded a full-time contract until June 2013. Kean's appointment was shrouded in a great deal of controversy since his agent Jerome Anderson had earlier played a major role in advising Venky's during the takeover of the club in the preceding months.
