The Football.....

[The Crofted Crest]

An article about Macclesfield in When Saturday Comes a couple of months ago referred to Robbie Savage as "co-owner".

Not sure if this will work, but here's the URL:

I have never really understood the general animosity towards Robbie Savage. Obviously I don't know him but he has always come across on tv as a pretty decent bloke. I suspect part of it is a lot of people thought he rated himself too highly as a footballer, but to be fair anyone that plays over 500 league games has had a pretty stellar career IMO.

We loved him at Ewood. Excellent footballer and a very decent man. I've never understood what people had/have against him.

England always seem to do pretty well at youth levels and play some pretty decent stuff. Be a formidable force if they could translate that to the senior side.

I'd say Gareth Southgate pretty much did exactly that! WC semi and two Euro finals is a bloody great return for 8 years of management. Didn't quite win a trophy but don't forget it was Southgate who laid the foundations for the U19, U21 to senior pathway before he became England men's manager.

It was probably the diving and simulation to get players sent off, including Justin Edinburgh in a league cup final
