Which club was relegated from the Premier League in 1998-99, four years after winning it?

Blackburn Rovers were relegated from the Premier League in 1998–99, four years after winning the title.

Blackburn had become champions in 1994–95, edging Manchester United in a dramatic title race. That team featured Alan Shearer, who scored 34 league goals, and was managed by Kenny Dalglish. The championship was the club’s first English top-flight title since 1914.

By 1998–99, much of the title-winning core had moved on. Blackburn struggled for consistency and finished 19th, ending their seven-season run in the Premier League. Relegation was confirmed after a 0–0 draw away to Manchester United on 6 May 1999.

The timing made the fall especially striking: Blackburn had gone from English champions in 1995 to a second-tier club only four seasons later. The answer is sometimes confused with Nottingham Forest, who were also relegated that season, but Blackburn are the club linked to the four-years-after-winning-the-title distinction.
