Current Hammers Manager and former Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce has reportedly instructed lawyers to sue his former Number 2 and current Blackburn manager Steve Kean.
This action comes following a four minute video released on YouTube overnight, apparently filmed during Rovers pre-season trip to Hong Kong, it shows Kean being very critical of Allardyce and using a series of expletives and going as far as to call Sam “a crook”.
It also shows Kean predicting a top half finish in The Premiership and that Blackburn would win the Carling Cup.
The BRFC Action Group have claimed responsibility for the footage, and have long campaigned against Kean and the clubs owners the Venky’s.
A statement from the group says: “We as a group of supporters, elected by its members, are disgusted that our club has been allowed to be pillaged with very little resistance from the regulatory bodies who should act in the best interest of the sport and supporters.

“We are further delighted that the Sports Minister has also agreed to a similar meeting to discuss the goings on, behind the scenes, at our club.”
Interesting times to be a Blackburn fan then!
