West Bromwich Albion boss Roy Hodgson has sympathy for Steve Kean after victory over Blackburn Rovers.
While seeing his side move up to 13th, Hodgson offered his support to his opposite number.
The 64-year-old lost his job as Blackburn boss in the 1990s and does not want to see the same thing happen to Kean.
"He is showing a lot of dignity," Hodgson said. "I always stand behind managers in these situations.
"I think it is too easy to try and put all the ills of a football club's playing staff down to one man. It is often a lot more complicated than that.
"It is not my business what Blackburn Rovers do, but if Steve does lose his job, I will feel very sorry for him."
