Robbie Savage will upset and delight Leicester fans with this
Who knew that Robbie Savage was more articulate with a keyboard than as a commentator. But his thoughts on Leicester City’s Brendan Rodgers are polarising.
I must admit, after suffering through former Leicester City player Robbie Savage’s inarticulate and basically rudimentary, everyman analysis on BT Sport – eye roll at their ridiculous Box Office charges – it was strange to read a first Savage article for Mirror Sport and be mildly impressed. Maybe surprised is more accurate.
That is because the ex-Fox provided pinpoint accuracy with his evaluation of the East Midlands club and manager in his latest piece for the publication. The retired midfielder notes that Leicester – by winning the Premier League in 2016 along with finishing fifth in 2019/20 – have already broken the existing ‘Big Six’ cluster and remodelled it into a fresh group.
Take your pick, but, for me, Arsenal are the team which have been bounced from that line-up. Mikel Arteta has improved them; yet he is receiving too much premature praise while still in an infancy stage of tenure. Not to mention the fact that Arteta is making major errors in the process.

Additionally, the Welshman suggests that a logical step for Foxes boss Rodgers is to switch teams. Potentially replacing Pep Guardiola at Manchester City is proposed. The annoying thing here is that Savage refers to a prospective time when the Northern Irishman has “climbed every mountain at Leicester” as the time to move.
Well, the Blue Army want Rodgers to reach the summit – then keep us there as a top side. Obviously anyone in an industry strives to better themselves and to be higher paid in the pinnacle of positions. Yet it is rather odd for a person with a connection to Leicester to be advocating for losing a fine element.
