Don’t see much sense in what Henry has come out and said there. It’s a put down for Suarez and his agent, for no advantage to LFC, except to make Henry look smarter than them, since everything Henry does is commercially motivated, that is hardly his motivation!
The only other reason he might have for saying all that stuff, is to upset Suarez and cash in on him in the summer! Or perhaps he really doesn’t want a top four finish, as that will require a massive investment to stay there, hence his rocking the boat at this critical juncture!
What else makes sense out of this amazing announcement at this particular time? There is no reason why he won't want top 4, saying otherwise is complete nonsense. Why? Because he will always have the choice of investing or not even if we finish in the top 4, despite having additional CL revenues. Staying in the CL might not be the objective, but being self sustaining is and finishing top 4 at least this season would increase revenues.

You’re overlooking fan pressure though vish, if we qualify for the CL fans will expect significant investment, FSG would like to avoid that. And you haven’t addressed the question: “What else makes sense out of this amazing announcement at this particular time?"

So you think FSG would rather not be in the Champions League? That is insane logic

I think they want to get us relegate, as then there'd be no pressure to sign players

It seems, from his and Stevie's comments, that they convinced him to stay before the second bid came in. The ball was in Suarez's camp, and he decided not to pursue it further.

And you haven’t addressed the question: “What else makes sense out of this amazing announcement at this particular time?" What fans pressure, I hope you don't mean the posts here? I haven't seen much of fans pressure and FSG just need to explain how FFP works to calm down everybody. The Gladzers have been milking United for a number of years and all the fans pressure there hasn't worked, so I really don't think that it would be FSG's main concern right now. The announcement I think is because he wanted to make a point that in Soccer, contracts doesn't mean much and he is going to fight this, and I agree with him. Players just have too much power and this is what can/will kill the game.
