Dalglish: Suarez didn’t get me sacked

Former Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish does not believe his handling of the Luis Suarez racism row cost him his job — but admits he would do things differently if he ever found himself in a similar situation.

The Scot was sacked at the end of last season after the club finished eighth in the Premier League, having won the club’s first trophy in six years with victory in the Carling Cup.

However, the campaign was dominated by the Suarez issue which resulted in the Uruguay striker being banned for eight matches having been found guilty of racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra.
