Career suicide: Dalglish's support for Suarez got him fired - Fergie
United manager says he wasn't surprised to see his fellow Scot get the chop at Liverpool after the way racism saga was mishandled
Sir Alex Ferguson says Kenny Dalglish got himself sacked by Liverpool with his mishandling of the Luis Suarez racism row.
Dalglish was fired at the end of last season and Manchester United opposite number Ferguson said his fellow Scot's unstinting support of Kop star Suarez ultimately cost him his job.
"I wasn't surprised at Kenny leaving," said Ferguson. "I think John Henry [the Liverpool owner] has obviously looked at the Suarez incident and felt it wasn't handled in the right way.
"I think that must have been part of it. It certainly wasn't a nice thing to happen, you know."
Suarez was banned for eight matches by the FA after an independent commission found him guilty of racially abusing United's Patrice Evra during a game last October.
Dalglish continued to back his striker, even after Suarez was found guilty, and claimed the player was the victim of a conspiracy.
Among Dalglish's ill-advised actions during the saga was his idea for the Liverpool squad to wear t-shirts in support of Suarez before a Premier League game.
Suarez re-opened the race row this week in an interview in his native Uruguay, during which by claimed Manchester United's 'political power' had got him banned.

He spoke out even though Dalglish's successor Brendan Rodgers has said it is time for Suarez to move on and for the whole issue to be consigned to the past.
"I've seen that Suarez has gone back and talked about it," said Ferguson. "If Suarez keeps on making headlines out of it then it's not going to go away."
Ferguson, speaking in Durban, South Africa on United's pre-season tour, dismissed the idea Suarez was the victim of a conspiracy orchestrated by Liverpool's arch-rivals.
"I don't think that was anything to do with Manchester United," said Fergie.
Despite football being shown in a poor light by the Suarez/Evra episode and John Terry's recent trial, Ferguson said he did not envisage a return to the dark days of discrimination.
"I don't think there's cause to worry about racism in England," said Ferguson. "Since I've been down in England we've made great strides forward. I don't see any problem with the game in terms of race.
"Obviously, I don't know what he [Terry] said - there's a lot of speculation about what he said and why he said it - but I don't think it's a problem."The times they are a changin'.Comment

Henry shouldn't had let Dalglish handle the incident. It's not the managers job to deal with these issues. It should be handled by club lawyers and PR staff. Dalglish should have not commented and said the matter was being dealt with within the club (like he does with transfers). Many mistakes were made by all.Comment
