Moyes furious at Rovers fans

Everton boss David Moyes said he was disgusted with the way Blackburn fans treated manager Steve Kean during their loss to Bolton.

Rovers fans have been vocal in their calls for Kean to be sacked after a poor start to the English Premier League season, one that has seen them slump to the bottom of the table with just two wins.

They again called on owners Venky’s to dump Kean during the 2-1 loss to Bolton at Ewood Park on Tuesday.

Moyes, whose Everton side meet Bolton on January 4, said he left the clash at half-time because of the treatment Kean was getting.

“I thought it was disgusting. I was at the game and I left at half-time. I couldn’t believe the criticism they (Blackburn fans) gave to their manager,” Moyes said.

“If they had supported their team as well as they’d shouted at their manager then I think the team might’ve got a result in the game.”

“I’m a football manager, it could quite easily happen to me and I was disgusted at how the football supporters had treated Steve and the only way I could show was by leaving at half-time.”

Moyes was unwilling to speak too much about the issues at Blackburn, but said he felt for Kean hearing the criticism of the fans.

“It’s football. We’re in it, we know the business,” he said.

“Blackburn’s not my club so I can’t comment much on what the supporters think or how they feel so it’s not for me to say but as a human being, I was there and I felt for another one.”

Everton recorded a 1-0 win over Swansea City at Goodison Park on Wednesday, moving into 11th on the table.
