Strange statement really. If the company has been "reviewing its position over the past few weeks in light of the actions of striker, Nicolas Anelka" and this has led to the decision why couch it in a soppy euphemism like "It has decided to focus its attention on other marketing activities after this season."?

Having their cake and eating it.
