Toffess boss in disbelief at level of hostility aimed at Rovers tactician
Everton manager David Moyes walked out of Ewood Park early on Tuesday following the level of abuse aimed at Blackburn boss Steve Kean.
The Rovers tactician has come under heavy fire from disgruntled fans over the club's lowly Premier League position, which is now rock-bottom following the 2-1 loss to Bolton.
Blackburn have endured a miserable campaign and with owners Venkey's absent for the Ewood Park clash, Kean bore the brunt of fans' frustrations - with the majority calling for his departure.
Moyes, whose team tackle Bolton on 4th January, could not believe the abuse directed at the Scottish manager, saying he was 'shocked' and 'disgusted'.
Disbelief
"I walked out at half-time. I couldn't believe the criticism they gave their manager," said Moyes.
"If they had supported the team as well as they had shouted at their manager I think the team might have got a result in the game.
"I am a football manager and it could quite easily happen to me. I was disgusted with how football supporters treated Steve.
"The only way I could show it was by leaving at half-time."
Moyes believes it is time Venky's clarified the situation at the crisis-hit club by telling fans exactly what is happening.
Barracking
He added: "Steve stood on the touchline the whole night and took the barracking, never hid from it.
"He was big enough to stand there and take it and that says a lot about him.
"But sometimes on these occasions the owners need to step forward and be seen - come out and tell people exactly what is happening so the supporters are aware of it.
"But the supporters were there. It was a really big game for Blackburn and Bolton.
"The Bolton supporters really got behind their manager and their team. If Blackburn supporters had done that it might have helped them."
