News about Robbie Savage

OLIVER HOLT: In one of the corridors in the main stand at Crewe Alexandra's Mornflake Stadium, there are pictures on the wall devoted to some of the club's famous alumni. Bruce Grobbelaar, Steve Holland, Geoff Thomas, David Platt, Dean Ashton, Robbie Savage and Danny Murphy are just a few of the names who have spent early stages of their careers here, all of them symbols of the symbiosis that once existed between the lower leagues and the top flight. That relationship is broken now. Premier League intransigence over a six-year, £900million New Deal for football has ensured that. 

Rio Ferdinand 's eldest son Lorenz has signed with New Era Global Sports Management, joining his dad and uncle Anton at the agency. The 17-year-old signed with Brighton as their Under-18s goalkeeper in 2022 and has made 18 appearances for the Seagulls' junior squad this term. New Era's current Premier League clients include Everton defenders Ben Godfrey and Michael Keane as well as Jacob Murphy. In addition to current stars, the agency also represents the interests of Ferdinand, Mick McCarthy, Harry Redknapp and Robbie Savage.

During Tom Clare's unexpected friends during the final on Monday, Love Island viewers were left baffled. F.C. vs. Macclesfield F.C. Sophie Smith, 26, was named champion alongside Molly Smith, 29, and his partner Jess Gale 24. However, both couples met with host Maya Jama to discuss their time on the show, with Tom winning good fortune through a video message from footballing legends Rio Ferdinand and Robbie Savage.

If it's the passion of the Old Firm or the tense of the North London derby, there's nothing quite like the atmosphere surrounding some of football's most fought rivalries. These games have a different feel to them, one that can be likened to the feeling of a cup final, with both fans and players eager to win over their tense opponents. Several of the United Kingdom's oldest rivalries are deeply embedded in history and tradition, with some teams baseding their feuds on events that began nearly 200 years ago.

Joe Cole, a former Chelsea midfielder, insists that his former boss Jose Mourinho will still operate at 'at the very top'. On Tuesday, the Portuguese manager was fired from his role as Roma coach, with the club languishing in ninth place in Serie A, having won only one of their last five league games, and also being sacked from the Italian Cup to rivals Lazio last week. His last game came as his team was defeated 3-1 by AC Milan on Sunday, with Mourinho having to watch from the stands.

After Red Star Belgrade's first of two goals in Wednesday's final Champions League group stage match against Man City, Robbie Savage pinned blame on Kalvin Phillips. Savage argued that Phillips was to blame for failing to monitor Red Star forward Hwang In-Beom's journey, who scored the hosts' first of two goals against City. The South Korean winger found space at the back-post and shot past goalkeeper Stefan Ortega to reduce City's lead to just one goal.

Macclesfield FC, a phoenix club of Macclesfield Town, has soared to a brisk start after launching in the North West Counties Premier Division in 2020. At the end of October, Savage, Macclesfield's manager, named former Hull City defender Alex Bruce - and uncle of ex-Birmingham and Newcastle manager Steve Bruce - as the club's boss. Although the team had ex-Magpie Papiss Cisse training with them last month after his release from French side Amiens SC in the summer and snared Everton flop Oumar Niasse on a short-term contract, the team also signed Oumar Niasse to a short-term contract.

After his horrific night gave Galatasaray a way back to their Champions League match, TNT Sports pundit Robbie Savage slammed Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana. After falling into a 3-1 lead, United appeared to be in complete control of the game in Istanbul, but Onana allowed a Hakim Ziyech free-kick to squirm through his grasp and into the net, resulting in 3-2 victory. The savage couldn't believe his eyes and immediately called the goal a 'poor mistake' from Onana.

Bruno Fernandes' praise immediately backfired as the United skipper gave away a free kick that resulted in a Galatasaray goal. The Portuguese had earned their respect for their spectacular 18th-minutes goal, giving Erik ten Hag's side a two-goal advantage in their vital Champions League clash. However, fans were taken aback by his insistence on thanking the midfielder for returning from a failed attack.

Robbie Savage's energetic Macclesfield FC has reportedly had a former Premier League striker training with them, with the intention of selling him on a free. Macclesfield FC, a phoenix team based in Macclesfield Town, is flying through the football pyramid after starting out in the North West Counties Premier Division in 2020. Savage, Macclesfield's football manager, is always trying to lift the bar, and having a former Premier League striker lead the line would be a coup.

DANNY MURPHY: Former Coach Barry Bennell's sexual assault has rocked crewe Alexandra in recent years, but many good people stayed at Gresty Road to try to recover from the worst of times. Danny Murphy, a former footballer who rose from League Two, speaks to current Alex Grant, who discusses the past and how the club is progressing with the support of survivors. My own experience with Crewe Alexandra was positive. They took me from a council estate in Chester and made me the player who adored success with Liverpool and England. On the wall at Gresty Road with other well-known alumni, including David Platt, Robbie Savage, Geoff Thomas, Neil Lennon, Seth Johnson, Dean Ashton, Ashley Westwood, and Nick Powell, there is a picture of me. It's a new record for such a small club, and it should rightfully be proud.

LeWIS STEELE: Before we Dai, we could see someone else. Do or Dai. Dai, the Groundhog. They are only three words to sum up Reading's monumental mess, who have lost more than £191 million and been docked 16 points by the EFL in the last two years, which has seen them fall to League One. The yngge of Chinese owner Dai Yongge has been the target for most Royals fans who watched their team play in the Premier League just over a decade ago. Reading's wage bill has eclipsed their income and the club has been followed by EFL probes since taking over the club in May 2017. 'The EFL remains extremely dissatisfied with the club's ownership's regular failures,' began the club's EFL statement in August as they brought a one-point deduction with three others suspended.'

Charlie Savage, a former Manchester United starlet, has been given his first call up to Rob Page's squad, with Wales playing against Gibraltar and Croatia later this month. Savage has been on form at the start of the 2023-24 season for Reading, with a goal and an assist in his 10 League One debuts, but the Royals are in 22nd place. The United academy product, as well as Robbie Savage's uncle, has competed eight times for Wales across three age groups, but has yet to represent the national team.

After the Red Devils were lucky against Wolves over the weekend, former Manchester United midfielder Robbie Savage blasted PMGOL chief referee Howard Webb. Andre Onana, the new signing in the Premier League, rushed out to claim a cross before missing the ball and taking out two Wolves attackers.

TNT Sports has soared ahead of the new season with an all-female hosting staff, as well as keeping up with the top analyst picks from BT Sports. Sky Sports has undergone some changes over the summer, including some major departures. For the forthcoming season, Mail Sport examines the punditry squads for TNT, Sky Sports, BBC, CBS, and even BeIN Sports.

The Italian sportscar that once belonged to the BBC and BT Sport commentator Savage (inset) was expected to sell for £80,000 but it was sold for less than £54,000. When he played for Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League in 2006 to celebrate the club's qualifying for the UEFA Cup, the 48-year-old ex-Wales international received the Ferrari F430 Spider (left, bottom, and top right). He converted the 193 mph motor, which can go from 0-60 percent in 4.1 seconds to about £100,000.

Robbie Savage has stated that AZ Alkmaar's first goal against West Ham should have been disallowed. Tijjani Reijnders gave the Dutch team a surprising lead going into the first half of the Conference League semi-final first leg, firing in from distance to breaking deadlock. The visitors had the majority of the game, but West Ham had the best chances, with Matt Ryan saving from Said Benrahma and Lucas Paqueta's arms from close range.

After losing 3-0 to Sevilla, Erik ten Hag has asked his players to 'prove' that they are worthy of playing for Manchester United. After goals from Youssef En-Nesyri and Loic Badé, the Red Devils were knocked out of the Europa League in the quarter-finals, the Spanish team won the match. It meant that the La Liga team advanced to 5-2 on aggregate, with United's hopes of winning a European trophy in ten Hag's first year distainted.

After losing 3-0 to Sevilla on Thursday, Robbie Savage has openly that some players are 'playing for their Manchester United careers'. After goals from Youssef En-Nesyri and Loic Badé that culminated in the victory for the Spanish team, the Red Devils dropped out of the Europa League in the quarter-finals. It comes as a blow to United, who had been aiming for a European trophy in ten Hag's first year as the club's manager.

Robbie Savage has chastised Manchester United keeper David de Gea for failing to save Sevilla's second goal in their Europa League quarter finals. Loic Bade turned the ball over the crossbar with his shoulder, but the ball was travelling slowly and right above de Gea when it arrived. Robbis Savage said on BT Sport commentary after the goal: 'Such a slow start.' I don't know what he's doing, but it's right over him.

BT Sport has revealed plans to cancel one of its biggest shows as the broadcasting behemoth prepares to change up their show schedule for next season. After a £650 million acquisition with Warner Brothers Discovery back in 2022, the broadcaster is considering a change of name for the 2023-24 campaign. Sportmail announced in February that BT Sport would be changing its name and relaunch the channel next season with a salute to American cable station Turner Network Television.

After seeing that his son Charlie scored his first goal in senior football, Robbie Savage fought back tears on BT Sport live. In January, Manchester United sent the 19-year-old out on loan to Forest Green Rovers, a League One flop, to ensure he was given more pitch time as part of his development. On Saturday, Duncan Ferguson's side defeated Bristol Rovers and scored in the 12th minute of the game, which was quickly identified by his dad on BT's score ticker.

After Match of the Day was cut to just over 20 minutes in the midst of the incredible fallout from the Gary Lineker row, the BBC is braced for more disruption to its coverage today. The chaos-gripped broadcaster saw its iconic show dramatically reduced after commentators and pundits refused to appear on a Saturday of unprecedented growth.

Exclusive BY MATT HUGHES: Sportsmail has learned that BT Sport and Eurosport will launch a new channel on Tuesday that will pool all of their live sports rights, as well as the Champions League, Olympic Games, Grand Slam tennis, and cycling's Grand Tours. Following Warner Brothers Discovery's purchase of BT Sport last year, which also owns Eurosport, in a contract worth up to £650 million, a new brand was born. Although officially referred to as a joint venture, it appears that the American giants took over BT Sport in its entirety. BT Sport's long-established headquarters in Stratford, East London, will be relocated to the WBD studios in Chiswick and Stockley Park at the end of the season.
