Andy Ritchie, a Morton legend, has weighed in on the club's ongoing crisis, criticizing the abrupt withdrawal of Estrella's funding offer and the rushed nature of recent decisions. The former player and director described the Estrella 'deal or no-deal' as confusing, noting the 30-minute AGM statement was swiftly dismissed by the investors. Ritchie expressed hope that a local consortium's interest could stabilize the club, but warned that short-term fixes like the Fighting Fund are insufficient. He emphasized the need for a long-term plan to prevent administration, stressing that Inverclyde requires a viable product and strategy to attract supporters. Ritchie also urged players to maintain focus on the pitch, citing their commitment as crucial to restoring hope.
