The veteran tactician claims that the Liverpool boss was given his marching orders due to his actions in the Luis Suarez/Patrice Evra row.
Suarez, who arrived amidst great fanfare at Anfield, had a notorious history of rowdy behaviour on the pitch, something which continued in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749.
The South American racially abused Manchester United’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231 during a game at Old Trafford and sparked off a controversy that still continues till today. But the former Ajax man didn’t escape without punishment and was handed an eight match ban alongside
a £40,000 fine.
However the behaviour of the club after that and specifically that of Kenny Dalglish caused further uproar from the footballing fraternity. The Scot made sure that every team member wore shirts supporting Suarez and labelled him as ‘innocent’ during his
contact with the media.
The Football Association did their best to control the situation, but in the end http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 owner John Henry took matters into his own hand and gave the boot to the Kop Legend after things on the pitch also failed to deceive.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson, who backed Patrice Evra all the way during the trial, now claims that Dalglish’s decision to publicly voice his backing for Suarez was perhaps the final nail in his coffin.
"I wasn't surprised at Kenny leaving. John Henry has obviously looked at that (the Suarez incident) and felt it wasn't handled in the right way. It certainly wasn't a nice thing to happen and it must have been part of it."
"It's not going to go away if Suarez keeps on making headlines out of it. It was nothing to do with Manchester United. It wasn't Evra's contribution, it wasn't Suarez's contribution. What killed Suarez was the guy who explained the cultural differences,”
the United manager was quoted as saying.
The Suarez-Evra affair is just one of the incidents that have blackened the campaign for English Football in 2011/12.
John Terry’s alleged abuse of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 skipper has since then been cleared of any wrong doing, much to the dismay of many involved in the beautiful game.
