Dethroning The King?

It has been 3 months since the Liverpool-Man United game at Anfield. 

Unfortunately, the game will be remembered not for the football, but for some other things.

Since then, it has been a very busy 3 months at Liverpool. 

Although Suarez has accepted his ban and served it, unfortunately, another incident happened in the game between the two sides at Old Trafford.

In my opinion, the best thing would be to just forget about all what happened and move on. That's why I won't describe anything that happened there, we all know that already.

What interests me is what happened after the game. To be more precise, the apologies from both Suarez and Kenny Dalglish for their reactions and the mishandling of the whole situation.

It is a tradition at Liverpool that the manager has big control at the club. The best example of that is the power Rafa Benitez had at the club, which was at that time almost unmatched in whole Europe. When Kenny Dalglish signed a permanent contract, everyone expected him to have the same amount of power too. 

He is the King, afterall.

But the apology, which he was obviously forced to make by the owners, show that, with the arrival of FSG that a new era has come to Liverpool. The Americans wasted no time to react and try to rebuild the crushed reputation of the club. By making Kenny himself to apologise, they have showed that there will be no more manager despotism at Anfield.

Question marks have started raising over whether Luis Suarez and Kenny Dalglish will survive the summer at Liverpool. The owners seemed to be furious at them for their handling of the whole situation, and many reports suggested that Luis Suarez might be offloaded in the summer.

Kenny Dalglish himself isn't very safe in his position too. According to some top journalists in the US, he too could leave Liverpool in the summer. If this really is true, than this apology is only the first step to dethroning the King.
