RITCHIE SEEKS LEGAL ADVICE

^{THE AGENT OF DEFENDER PAUL RITCHIE HAS BEEN SPEAKING TO THE EXPRESS AND STAR. AGENT, DAVID BALDWIN HAS TOLD THE PRESS..}

^{"We're seeking legal advice and we've contacted the Professional Footballers' Association, who believe we have got an open and shut case. it's not like we're trying to negotiate a new contract for Paul. He is fighting to get a contract that has already been offered"}

^{"If Walsall don't budge on this I can't see any way they will ever attract a decent player to the club again. In my opinion they have set off a hand grenade in their own shop."}

^{Baldwin also added that Paul feels disappointed considering the amount of effort he has put in this season. He also hinted at the fact that he was willing to spend next season with the club until this happened.}

^{He was also quick to exonerate Colin Lee of any blame saying...."I should stress that Colin is a completely innocent party in all of this," this reiterates Lee comments of the weekend when he said they should speak to someone else at the club about the issue.} 

^{The Club did try and sort the situation out. They offered Ritchie a revised deal and a pay off, both of which the player rejected. Why should he turn down what he is entitled to?}

^{These events are leading fans to question what kind of state our finances are in...}
