Crumbs. Nick Barmby was sacked for less. Lucky for Radford that AP was also on the receiving end of that fall out.
2 implications are suggested by that remark:
a) That Radford and Pearson are complicit in the shortfall and have exciting plans as to how it will be spent, or
b) Radford is frustrated that Pearson is withholding the shortfall and feels by doing this Pearson is compromising his, Radfords, ability to do the best job. Viz., Pearson can be added to the list of people being offered by Radford as the reason for our woes.
Either way, I can't see AP being happy he's let it slip if we are miles under cap.

An even bigger reason for Pearson to be angry at the remark, then.

| If we are under the cap, we are not almost half a million under. And even if we were, the squad we have is still better than 12th, regardless of how much we have spent. So whatever way you look at it it's just more excuses.

| Well we're being lied to somewhere..
Last season we released;
Galea, Lynch, McDonnell (all apparently big earners). During this season we also released Pitts and Arundel. Probably more in there aswell but can't think right now.
And brought in; Talanoa, Carvell (for a couple of months), Rankin, Feka and Colbon. And Sa but his salary doesn't count.
Paea being the only one I expect to be a big earner.
Not good use of the cap IMO..

| This is a real pointless discussion.
Nobody has any idea what the players earn, who counts on cap, what players got upgrades etc.
Pearson has said that we are operating at full cap so you have to believe him, off this us the case then it's obvious that we are over paying some players massively, this us something we are trying to address by getting rid of some players who don't offer value for money. However until the coaching structure is sorted who we have in the side is going to be irrelevant.

| Regardless of whether or not we are under cap (which is, I agree, a pointlessly labyrinthine discussion as nobody knows players' earnings) the issue is that Radford has come out and said we are at £1.2M when Pearson has stated we are at full cap. Whichever way you look at it, Pearson will not be happy at this undermining of him (as I said, his mate was sacked for less). Radford has either let slip they are complicit with money to spend or that Pearson is holding funds back and Radford isn't happy about it. Or Radford's lying in a radio interview to save face and protect his back from the wrath of the fans. Pearson must be furious whichever is true.
You're definite Radford did say this on air, FC Wembley 08?

Yep.
He said he didn't want to talk about why we are operating on a cap of 1.2

Which ever one you want to select?
I understand the disappointment and disillusionment.
Just continually looking for smoking gun minutiae is rather tiresome from some posters though.
