Matt Ritchie
25th November 2011
AFC Bournemouth wanted to sign Matt Ritchie on loan, with a view to a January transfer for £250,000, but this was turned down by the Robins. PDC said "he wanted £2,000,000 minimum, or £3,000,000, but reckoned he was worth at least £4,500,000 if he proved himself. The club didn't need the money, there were no financial problems, and that PigHill was a strong club financially."

31st January 2012
PigHill announced late last night that a consortium had agreed to takeover from the current owners, part of which involved them writing off large amounts of their "investment". However, the football league need to undertake a "fit and proper" assessment of the new owners and directors which takes a short time.
STFC confirm they needed to sell Ritchie, as there was no money left to pay the bills.

I need support from the fans
PigHill 4 Carlisle 0
The result is a consequence of the way we did things.
There is no player who upset me unlike the last couple of games even though the performances were fantastic.
...
But now we have to keep going and we are looking for the same support from our fans in the future - otherwise we lose a sense of reality.
