Mercer Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 tariq panja@tariqpanja Lawyers for Sam Allardyce filed a suit against Steve Kean and Blackburn Rovers on July 12 at the High Court, according to a court document. Retweeted by Northern Rover Should be interesting and probably amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 A certain ex manager has been known to carry out similar actions before, then when the situation got serious he pulled out because the truth could come out. Lets hope Allardyce isn't made of the same stuff and actually follows through with his actions I wouldn't hold your breath though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seekay Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I wonder what the LMA's view is on Kean now that they have one of their big members taking another member to court for slagging him off in public. Will they say the agression and abuse levelled at Sam has stepped way over the mark but in spite of this to his significant credit he shouldered it like a man with dignity and professionalism and continued to work on getting WHU promotion?

Mercer Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Based on what Sam has told them. They wouldn't investigate their own client surely Correct. If Sam feels uneasy about any past matters relating to himself, he will be looking for a huge out of court settlement. My guess is that Kean will do anything to avoid setting foot in court as, IMO, the evidence is damning and just like his PL record, his court room record isn't good !!! Sam and his lawyers know this. If Sam believes that Kean will not be able to put a glove on him, then, IMO, he will take this all the way and give Kean & Venky's a real mullering in court as this will not necessarily be about money.

John Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I know the club love to make no comment or make no one available for comment - however, they have the manager who is usually a figurehead role acting like a complete kn@b on video.

patrickvalery Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Correct. If Sam feels uneasy about any past matters relating to himself, he will be looking for a huge out of court settlement.

I dunno. I'm not sure Sam feels as hurt about his Rovers exit as us fans do. He knows the public perception of his sacking is heavily leaning towards Venky's insanity rather than his own failings. I would imagine his big gripe still lies with Newcastle and Ashley in professional terms. I'd have thought his big Rovers pay off and the demise of the club and Kean has given him all the satisfaction he craved. Especially as he took West Ham in the opposite direction.I think he'll be more intent on hitting Kean in the pocket rather than hurting Rovers or the fans.

jim mk2 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Sam's professional integrity has been questioned so Kean has alot of questions to answer. If he has any sense Kean will settle out of court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickvalery Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 all the best Big Sam, please don't settle out of court though.......win and win big and very publically Why do you think that? I don't for one minute think that outcome would get Kean sacked so i'd rather it passed with minimal fuss. Not because i want Kean to get off scott free, but i'd rather the club wasn't dragged through the mud yet again. What should have happened is the club sack him when the video came out. But we all have our theories on that subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we all have our theories on that subject. My love of the club has kind of died under this regime it does'nt seem footballing success is the goal everyone at the club is striving for all the decisions (a) come across 1st as barking mad and ( b ) in the best financial interests of the owners and not the club Mud would be good, i guess its a civil matter so it would'nt be a conviction but to publically lose and for all the world to be within their rights to call the man a fraud/liar/deluded and never never never refer to him as having dignity.....would be priceless and may just(fingers crossed) get him out. we ain't going up, with kean we will still lose more than we win at this level so big sam being victorious would get the biggest cheer of the season.
