"But I'm a personality and I believe I'm an infectious character who tries to get the best out of people. I'm just a normal manager - an inexperienced manager giving it his best with a great staff. I'm just a passionate man who cares about whichever club he's at. [Some might ask] 'Oh, is it another celebrity manager?' No - I'm a hard-working individual who loves football, who's earned the opportunity."
"Based in Nailsworth, which has a population of less than 6,000, Gloucestershire club Forest Green were taken over by green energy pioneer Dale Vince in 2010. After a rapid rise, they spent seven seasons in the English Football League before relegation in 2024-25 and defeat in last season's play-off semi-final. Vince has raised Forest Green's profile by implementing eco-friendly initiatives such as making Rovers all-vegan and winning recognition from the United Nations as the world's first carbon-neutral football club in 2018."
Robbie Savage regrets appearing on Strictly Come Dancing early in his post-playing career and says he would have waited until after establishing himself as a manager. He emphasizes that he is an inexperienced but hardworking, passionate manager supported by a strong staff and rejects the label of 'celebrity manager'. Savage's Forest Green Rovers sit second in the National League after his July appointment following success at Macclesfield. Forest Green, based in Nailsworth, was taken over by Dale Vince in 2010, rose to the Football League for seven seasons before relegation in 2024–25, and is known for vegan and carbon-neutral initiatives. His son Charlie has joined Reading and been capped by Wales.
