Peterborough United manager Robbie Savage has dismissed criticism of his dual role as a co-commentator and pundit, calling it "a narrative that gets created if we're not winning games." Appointed on 2 October, Savage won his first two games in charge but Posh have failed to win any of their past six matches. Since a 3-1 win at Leicester City on 10 October, Peterborough have drawn two and lost two of their next four league games, dropping to 22nd in the table. They also missed the EFL Cup quarter-finals after a 27 October defeat by Bradford City.
Savage, 52, continues to present 606 on BBC Radio 5 Live and co-commentate for TNT, telling club media he is "first one in and last one to leave." He defended his commitment, stating "I'm not somebody who goes home and sits in front of the TV." He added he attends local grassroots games to give back, saying "It hurts the fans the most when we lose." The bottom line, he insists, is winning games of football.
