Forest Green Rovers manager Robbie Savage will be back on the airwaves tonight (Sunday) as co-host of BBC Radio 5 Live’s 606 football phone-in show alongside Chris Sutton.
Savage, fresh from Rovers’ outstanding 2-0 victory over Yeovil Town, will take to the microphone from 6.30pm tonight. Fans are invited to call 08085 909693 – free from mobiles and landlines or Text 85058 at your standard message rate.
The new Forest Green boss was allowed to continue his media career but has said Rovers will always take priority over his punditry duties.
His juggling act was given the thumbs-up by the New Lawn top brass – chairman Dale Vince, vice chairman Asif Rehmanwala and director of football Mark Bowen, when he was appointed last month.
In July, Savage told sports editor Ash Loveridge: “Dale (Vince) is happy to embrace that. I love 606, but I’m going to be giving it up on a Saturday. On a Sunday, I will watch our game back, watch Premier League Football and I can do 606 with Chris (Sutton) – that’s my day watching football anyway and Dale and Asif have said that will be good.”
