Precisely.
In addition inflation over those 4 years takes a chunk out of it. It is pure bollocks and indicative of the utter contempt the board have for the fan base and, if anything, more to blame for fans fucking off than the football itself.
No-one trusts this mob that are in charge of the club, especially when clear nonsense like this is pished out.
And another fucking thing, Calderwood was worried the cup exits would hit his transfer budget? Total shite. His transfer budget could and should have been boosted by being in the semis in the fucking first place seeing how guff we had been previously in the cup, earning the square root of fuck all. We had 2 replays FFS in there too.
