How does Lee feel about the Ritchie saga. Has he taken the club as far as he can? Are Plymouth waiting for their man? He is reluctant to discuss his future beyond this season.

RUNNING OUT OF PATIENCE ?

JUST HOW MUCH HAS THE RITCHIE SAGA UPSET COLIN LEE?

The lack of quotes from Lee on this matter speaks louder than a thousand words. Walsall's most successful ever manager is unhappy with what has gone on.  

He refused to comment on the issue after the Millwall game, and today said "it'll never happen again, not as long as I'm manager."

Does Lee blame himself? It's hard to tell. If he does, then fair enough - everyone makes mistakes, it's how you learn from them that counts. 

Paul Ritchie's agent has said Lee shouldn't take the blame. If Lee feels like this then who would be surprised if he walked away at the end of the season. 

Lee has been speaking about his future this week. He told the BBC "What happens next year? who knows, but this year's vitally important for this Football cClub - I'm going to see that job through to the best of my ability." 

It's no secret that he has been linked to the Plymouth Argylejob . The other names linked to that position are free agents (Peter Reid and Trevor Francis). They could take over the reigns at any time. Why haven't they appointed any of these yet? Are they waiting for their man? Is their man Colin Lee?
