West Ham manager Sam Allardyce is taking legal action against former club Blackburn and successor Steve Kean.

Full details of the High Court case have not been made public.

Allardyce reportedly instructed solicitors after a video clip was published on the internet in May which allegedly showed Kean criticising him.

A spokesman for Allardyce said: "He has issued legal proceedings against Steve Kean and Blackburn Rovers but is unable to comment further at this time."

No-one from Blackburn was available for comment.

The case was filed at the High Court in London on 12 July.

Kean, who replaced Allardyce as Blackburn boss in December 2010, has stayed on at Ewood Park despite the club's relegation from the Premier League last season and calls from many supporters for him to be sacked.

In the video, Kean appears to make unguarded remarks about Allardyce to supporters in a bar during the club's pre-season tour of Hong Kong in 2011.

Would be entertaining if it reaches court...

Sam Allardyce taking the high ground. Good grief. Steve Kean is a class A pleb who will slot nicely into Craig Burley's pants of punditry anytime soon. What a watch it would be to see this pair of self aggrandising knobs lock horns....

A lot more entertaining than watching any of Big Sam's teams play.

:agree: for this one though I take Allardyce to win by a KO in the 2nd Round as a result of a sneaky headbutt whilst Kean changes his nappy.

Weird. Is that really worth suing over?

Saying that the reason he got punted for being a crook, probably is.

Allardyce threatened to sue the BBC for alleging he was involved in taking bungs in 2006. Theyre still waiting.
