Why Forest Green? Savage points across a couple of fields and a road to where Eco Park, the new stadium, will be built. “I want to be in there with this club. It’s unbelievable. My ambition is to manage high with Forest Green. I want to repay them here because they’ve given me a chance. Where the owner Dale (Vince) has been brilliant is in (saying), ‘if you finish 15th, don’t worry. I’ve asked you to create me an entertaining, dynamic style of football with young players. I know it takes two, three years.’ And he’s a man of his word. Dale’s massively humble. He’s got where he is through hard work. I’d call him a friend, and respect. If I left here, I’d look him in the eye and say ‘thank you’.

“Do I think I can manage in the Championship? Yes. I listen to Gary Neville and Roy Keane on ‘The Overlap’ (with Paul Merson in February), saying, I’m doing it the hard way, doing a good job. Jermain Defoe’s just gone into Woking. Massive respect. Subconsciously, he might think, ‘I can start higher’. But this is the way to do it. Ashley Cole. Gone to Cesena.” Learning their trade.
