I've quoted his statements above, and maintain what I said - he's failed to deliver and what was promised. I didn't make the comments up. He said them. I can't wish them away and blow out a candle. He wanted a like for like replacement for Schuster (an 800k per year backrower) - where are they? Maybe in the same dimension as last weeks apparent brave performance, that quite a few live in it seems.
If your argument is based on the semantics of the word "promise" then I don't know what to tell you. If someone states they will do something, to me, that's a promise, unless they are a liar.
It's like me telling you I'm going to give you 10,000 dollars (but what I actually meant was in the year 9,585,562,546 on a different planet, when we are all cyborgs - but just left the latter out)
