A win over Steve Bruce's side at Ewood Park on saturday could lift Rovers up the Premier League table and the higher the side finish the more money the Rovers boss is likely to be given for new players.
Souness has already outlined his intentions to hopefully be in a position to bring in four new faces before the beginning of next season.
"I've asked the board for four new players so we'll see what happens. I'm not expecting a bundle of cash but it doesn't stop me asking," he says in the Daily Mirror today.
