The Lancashire club are thought to be getting closer to agreeing a deal with Indian consortium the VH Group, who now lead the race to take the reins at Ewood Park from the Walker Trust.
It is believed that the coming weeks will be crucial for Rovers to secure the deal, with Indian tycoon Ahsan Ali Syed also reported to be interested in buying the club.
But Allardyce admitted that the sooner the deal was done, the more quickly the club can move forward and invest.
"I know it is a bit closer. The sooner the club eventually changes hands the better for the future of the club. When a business goes up for sale it does stagnate and stand still," Allardyce told the Lancashire Telegraph.
"The important thing about new owners is about moving forward again. New investment is needed for football clubs and at the moment the club has not had investment for a long time.
"It is probably closer than it ever has been. January isn't going to excite me though. It is the most horrible month in football. It is the wrong time and the wrong place to be investing any type of money.
"All this money in January is not for me. It is the most hated window in football. We would not want to be taking any investment into the January window unless we knew it would be a certainty to be a success and it was the right players for us as a football club and at the right price."
