Unfortunately, while I don't agree with most of what RoyalBlue posts, and don't understand quite the level of bile in most of his posts about JM, he is correct on this. I heard the same interview with BBCRB and he did quite clearly state that funds would be available in January, either from himself, AZ or both. At the time, I'm sure he fully believed it too, and was as disappointed as the rest of us when it became apparent AZ was planning on doing a Lord Lucan.
What was said isn't really the point. No one in their right mind treats stuff said in football interviews as legally binding but for some reason RB this particular comment as something special. Talk of integrity etc is just daft, and what punishment is supposed to be inflicted on SJM for welshing on his promise to throw millions at the club is unclear.
There was hope of funds in January, they didn't materialise. RB can sue SJM for breach of promise, mental cruelty or whatever else but maybe moving on and not obsessesing over a local radio interview would be a more grown up approach.
Anyone who claims that Madejski didn't make the commitment either didn't hear the original interview, or has been conned by the BBC's subsequent editing or is a liar.
