PETERBOROUGH manager and TV pundit Robbie Savage has hit back at criticism he’s been receiving lately.

Savage’s Posh side have failed to win in six, yet the 52-year-old has found himself on the telly.

Before Reading’s battering of Peterborough at the weekend, in which Robbie’s son Charlie scored, the ex-Macclesfield and Forest Green gaffer commentated for TNT’s coverage of Oxford City v Leicester City.

However, Savage has been defiant in his response to criticism aimed his way, he said: “It’s all about winning games of football. The narrative can be spun in any way but I’m a football man.

“It’s my life. It’s what I love doing and I love watching football. I’m not somebody who goes home and sits in front of the TV, or goes to the pub or has any hobbies outside of football.

“I’m not a golfer. I just love football. I’ll go and watch every game that I can. I’m very fortunate that when I go and do games for TNT or 606, I’m getting knowledge all the time.”

Savage joined Peterborough at the beginning of October, in a move which saw Forest Green owner Dale Vince launch legal action worth £2million on Peterborough United and his former employee.

Vince claimed the Cambridgeshire outfit tapped up his manager after an initial request for talks was rejected.

Since then, Forest Green have opted for an unorthodox management strategy, known as a “collaborative model”.

They have no one manager, with numerous coaches taking the reins.

Rovers dropped into the National League in 2024 and have mostly struggled since – ex-gaffer Steve Cotterill joined local rivals Cheltenham after being sacked in 2025.

Despite Forest Green’s considerable transfer budget, Savage failed to earn promotion back to the EFL, after joining the vegan Gloucestershire side last summer.
