Sam Allardyce has claimed that he is 'disappointed' by alleged comments made about him by Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean.
A video was released on the internet earlier this week which appeared to show Kean criticising his former boss.
West Ham United manager Allardyce has since started legal action over the leaked footage.
"It's disappointing but it's in the hands of my lawyers and they are taking the action that is appropriate under the law of the land," he told the Daily Mail.
Kean's future at Ewood Park is still in doubt after he travelled to India to speak to the club's owners.
