Seems to me like he's giving himself a window to leave Liverpool and blame the press for his exit, which most Scousers will probably believe. Fact is, taking his behaviour into consideration he's been let off quite easily - not many players can get away with being a cannibal and a racist. If he wasn't a massive idiot who kept up brining the racism-case up again and again on his own, there'd probably be less talk about that as well by now - but he has to play the victim-card at every given opportunity.
