simplythebest 11,453 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 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. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18892288 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jela 21,685 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Is that all he's getting sued for ? Don't get me wrong I absolutely fucking hate Steve Kean, but taking him to court because he slagged you off is fucking pathetic. Allardyce is a massive twat as well.

Pathetic.Defamation is a very serious thing that gets taken to court all the time, people want to uphold their reputation. Not sure why you make it sound unusual.

I'm making it out to be the pathetic thing it is.Well i'd suggest your complaint should be with the law overall there then, rather than Allardyce. That's why you even have to be careful sometimes about what you say on the internet, defamation can come from even the smallest of things.
