Agar Buys Well At Wakefield.. Why Not For Us??

I've nearly broken my off-season sabbatical to post that exact same thing more than once, the similarities really are extensive. Another one is that Blackburn have liaised with clubs they were playing away at to have their stewards remove 'Kean Out' banners, when our old regime pulled that stunt at London last year I lost the last ounce of respect I had for them.

The only real difference I can think of is that Blackburn fans were on his case pretty much from the start (due to the craziness of sacking Allardyce, only to replace him with someone so unproven), whereas FC and perhaps RL fans in general seem to be a lot more easy-going and forgiving lot and, despite year after year of underachievement, were often willing to buy into the excuses put forward by the club or be 'bought-off' by one decent result. Of course, some of that may have to do with the fact that Blackburn are under threat of relegation and resulting financial melt-down, while that can't happen in our sport.

They were roundly criticised in the press for it, but I was actually really impressed by the principles of the Blackburn fans in booing even when they beat Swansea the other week. I read today that the Lancashire Telegraph has also published a front page calling for Kean to go, and it even states in the editorial that a win in their relegation 6-pointer against Bolton shouldn't be taken as a reason for him to stay on, as things have 'passed the point of no return'. Can anyone imagine in the HDM having the bottle to do anything like that?

Mind you, I would have loved a story about Uncle Kaff and JR trying to organise a Kelly Rowland concert at the KC to try and placate the rugby-going folk of West Hull into accepting another year of Agar!
The similarities are so great that I find myself, quite irrationally, wanting Kean to get the sack.
