At this stage Liverpool have already shown distain for the whole thing from the start, and never took a claim of racism seriously, appealing the decision was the natural course of action,
That statement in 100% terms means we don't want to appeal because it may affect out commercial and fan popularity around the world.
Maybe the owner/people in charge have regained their common senses.
Or maybe they've employed a PR man worth his salt.

The FA weren't going to overturn it given how much noise they've made about setting the standard for dealing with racism in football, I thought the best thing to do was to get it taken to a real court because there is no way the charge would have stood. Given that they've backed down now I think it's half hearted and a mistake because now regardless of the statement saying they don't think Suarez was in the wrong, the general consensus will be they think he was.
I know that they will have factored in how it will affect sponsorships etc but for me you either back it fully or you don't, his reputation is finished and he'll likely feel like he's been let down. They decided to take the punishment rather than risk the ban being increased and whilst I understand it I don't back it.
