Which they did. Now that they have done that we are yet again incapable of holding on to our best players. Whilst accepting that this is simple football economics (players who do well become wanted by other clubs), it would seem that we are now wage cutting despite the most successful season in so many years, both on and off the park.
It also seems pretty clear that the money available to replace players who are leaving the club in no way represents the money those players were on. Calderwood then has to try and polish a turd and recreate last season on, what is comparitively, buttons.
Miller et al have, in the same way that on occasion I and most here would like Calderwood, to accept a level of responsibility for this.
They don't.
