Former Blackburn Rovers manager Sam Allardyce is happy to bide his time as he waits for the right time to return to what he describes as the "crazy world of football".

Allardyce was surprisingly dismissed by Rovers at the tail-end of 2010, as the club's new owners decided to replace him with former assistant Steve Kean.

Presumably having learned some lessons from the experience, the former Bolton Wanderers and Newcastle United manager has admitted that he will decide his next job based on the working relationship he believes he will have with the prospective club's owners.

"Yes, I'm looking for a way back but I'm not too rushed - it's about the selection of the right job for me," Allardyce told TalkSPORT. "In terms of how the board and owners are, can we have a working relationship that tries to bring some success to the football club?

"That's really what it's about for me. Hopefully I can get back into the crazy world of football."
