Allardyce has hit out at Derby for sacking manager Billy Davies.
Allardyce: "You have got Billy Davies, who has got to be one of the best managers in this country without any shadow of a doubt, who has taken a football club from 17th in the Championship to promotion through the play-off final in one year.
Oh Dear ... Big Sam Sticks His Nose It Once Again!
"Within 14 games of taking Derby into the Premier League, he's been sacked by his new chairman.
"Is there anything more ridiculous than that? I haven't seen anything like that for a long, long time.
"He's been a victim of his own success.
"He's made Derby County into a team it shouldn't have been, and because he's done it too quickly, and because it couldn't be sustained as he didn't have enough time or money to purchase the sort of players he's needed, he has lost his job.
"If you look at the overall view, Billy Davies had very little chance of staying in the Premier League.
"It wasn't his fault - he should have been able to bring them back again.
"Unfortunately, he's fallen foul of the fact he didn't get the sort of millions that Sunderland, Wigan and Fulham have put into their sides, and all of a sudden he's lost his job."
