Sam Allardyce accuses Chico Flores of getting Michael Laudrup sacked

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has accused Chico Flores of getting manager Michael Laudrup sacked by Swansea City.

The Hammers boss criticised the defender for his reaction after Andy Carroll appeared to strike his arm across the top of Chico's head during last Saturday's 2-0 win over Swansea.

Allardyce also suggested that Chico has contributed to Laudrup's demise at the club after the Swans confirmed the departure of the Dane earlier this week.

"The other scenario that he must feel a lot more guilty of is he has just got his manager sacked," ITV Sport quotes Allardyce as saying.

Laudrup has revealed that he is considering taking legal action against the Welsh outfit.
