They are not going to qualify for the CL, probably not even the EL, this year, whether they keep Suarez or not, so I suppose they could look at the bigger picture and say "We keep Suarez, and try again next year" or "Sell him, bring in another 3 or 4 players to boost the squad, and try again next year.
Unless FSG are willing to throw more money into the manager's hands, when said manager spent £11m of it on Fabio Borini, then there isn't much more option. Plus, there's also the factor of whether Suarez is 100% at Liverpool. He joined them ad they're a bigger club than Ajax and felt he would be fighting to win titles in better competitions. Quite clearly, that isn't happening for him at the moment, and doesn't look like it's going to any time soon.
You make a good argument there mate. I suppose if BR was given all the money he raised plus a bit more then he could be tempted to sell. But we're talking mid season. If they were to create a market in January and someone did bite, their season would go straight down the shitter. Look at how they had their pants taken down over Carrol ... a 50 million sale of Suarez is useless in Jan because anyone you go and buy you'll have to pay a premium for.
