O Forest Green Rovers iniciou um processo judicial contra o Peterborough United pela forma como o clube da League One contratou o seu ex-técnico Robbie Savage, segundo o dono do Forest Green, Dale Vince.
Vince anunciou a medida em um vídeo curto publicado nas redes sociais, dizendo que o clube havia “iniciado um processo judicial pelo aliciamento do nosso técnico, agora ex-técnico, Robbie Savage”.
Savage, de 51 anos, deixou o clube de Gloucestershire no início deste mês mesmo depois de Vince ter bloqueado inicialmente a permissão para conversas, e o dono argumenta que ficou sem escolha quando o galês foi abordado diretamente.
O Peterborough se recusou a comentar o processo e já havia negado uma abordagem ilegal por Savage. O presidente Darren MacAnthony rejeitou a acusação, dizendo no X que a contratação de um novo técnico havia sido “100% correta e adequada, seguindo todas as regras”.
Savage chegou ao Forest Green em julho de 2025 depois de uma passagem bem-sucedida pelo Macclesfield FC, então um clube da sétima divisão e a equipe fênix formada após o encerramento do Macclesfield Town em 2020, onde comandou o acesso à National League North com 109 gols e 109 pontos.
Sua primeira temporada no comando em Gloucestershire terminou com derrota nos playoffs para o Boreham Wood, e ele saiu em 2 de outubro com o clube em 13º depois de 11 partidas.
Desde a mudança, Savage soma duas vitórias, dois empates e duas derrotas em todas as competições.
