Quits Macclesfield where he is the owner to take over the Forest Green job and then takes three of their best players.

Ha, you couldn't make him up. He's been espousing himself as some lower league paragon of virtue since he went there. He's learned a lot about the real side of the game and how it affects players, family and fans, yet the narcissist never left.

Always been a cunt.
When Sky were trying to sell Stones to Chelsea he told an anecdote about when he was at Birmingham and found out Blackburn were interested in him he immediately stopped talking to manager Steve Bruce and whenever the ball came to him in training games he'd just kick it out of play so they'd be forced to sell him.
Suggested Stones should do the same.

Steve Bruce deserves that though. He had resigned from Wigan after 2 months to go to Palace and then jibbed them after a couple of months to go to the Birmingham job.

My lad plays for Macc u-18’s and it’s fair to say people are fuming with him.

TBF, bumped into him a few times at the ground and he’s anything but the big I am, came across as very decent fella, and I’ve seen a few examples.

Any excuse to repost

This

Our old mate Steve Claridge calling for a 'three or four month ban' was a particular highlight in the aftermath.

I think I watched a game once where I swear he didn't touch the ball all game. Just ran about trying to tackle people. He stole a living.

Macclesfield have replaced him with Rooney.

Probably the least talent of any footballer I’ve ever seen.

Just ran around flapping his arms for 90 minutes.

One of the biggest myths in football this. He wasn't pele but he was a very effective player. He was decent at set pieces, could tackle, break up play.

Seen as a yard dog, but was like a gana Gueye type and in some ways a pioneer for this type of player.

A man utd graduate, who dropped down the leagues and worked his way up to an established premier league player and captained most of those teams. He was an established international. The very fact he was transferred for very decent money 3 or 4 times shows your opinion is unjust imo.

At any level? That’s quite a claim.

I once saw Man City in league one and they had some fat shed called Andy Morrison playing for them, he was awful. Just went round the pitch trying to kick people but he was so out of shape he couldn’t get near anyone

CHEER UP, PLUMS

Re: Robbie Savage (miles)

Yes - worse than any past, current or future players.

Savage was obviously very fit but in terms of pure football technique, he was extraordinarily bad.

I’d say he could score a goal, which makes him better than Phil Neville.

Wasn’t he the DOF and his mate owns the club?

He was the seaon before last, and then took over as manager at the start of last season. I think he was part owner as well.

I assume they'll all be getting a decent pay rise like.

He’s widely disliked in non league

Re: Robbie Savage (miles)

I went to the play off final at Macclesfield with Marine last May and he was sound in the aftermath, especially given that they were at home and heavy favourites.

He even made sure that Marine supporters were able to buy tickets for the game when it looked like Macclesfield fans were buying them up in the away end. Ive heard a few things about him being a knobhead as well, mind you, so who knows?

I met him a couple of times when Skem played them. He actually comes across as an alright fella....but then you remember he's Robbie Savage.
