No, no, no, Posh would be go down if they appointed Robbie Savage

Williams was described as a ‘serious contender’ by a prominent national journalist on Saturday.

Naturally there was instant reaction on social media, and not just from Posh supporters.

One EFL social media commentator even said Posh would get relegated if they appointed Savage.

ABS – Anyone But Savage – @Werrington2

If Robbie Savage ever came to manage Posh it would surely spell the end for Darragh MacAnthony as a serious club owner. An accident waiting to happen – @TobyWoody

This would be a major downgrade on recent managers and a move in the wrong direction – @LouiseLunaPosh

No thanks. Not good enough, not doing a particularly good job at FGR and there will be a personality and ego clash with the chairman – @SteveDilley1

Doing an average at best job at a team with massive resources at national league level - how do you then go up 2 levels? – @JamesStarbuck1

They wouldn’t do that to us would they? After the 2 years we’ve had, getting a manager who’s struggling with a team in the National League over proven managers at this level? – @CraigIsted

Not done great at Forest Green with a good budget. Why would he be in contention for a job 2 leagues higher? Baffles me – @Minsterman34

No no no – @JG16

Right now, we need someone who can improve the players we have, and, let's face it, has a bit of personality about him. I'm not exactly pro Savage, but i'm just keen to see what people don't rate about him – @romysdad

Given Darragh and Savage’s TalkSPORT ties, I imagine there is some real validity to this which is worrying. When I saw his name linked, I thought it was a lazy suggestion because no-one knew much about the search. Never been more worried about the state of the club – @TomWoods35

A fellow TalkSPORT host reports this. Darragh has spoken about Savage positively multiple times on his pod, and spoke about how they have a good relationship. Savage’s football philosophy matches Darragh’s. Genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if he gets the job – @nathan_young92

If Darragh hires Robbie Savage then it’s time he sold the club. Absolutely ridiculous appointment if true – @clarkbatfan

Whatever your thoughts about a potential Robbie Savage appointment, nothing can be as dreary as the stuff that we have put up with over the past few months. I’d welcome a bit of life on the touchline and a different attitude to games – @AndyCricket100

Matt Bloomfield pretty much just confirmed an approach (by Posh) on Sky – @PaulDay1552789

Suspect the Robbie Savage to Peterborough links are nonsense. When Darragh MacAnthony appoints managers externally, they've always done something in the Football League. Savage seems to be quite friendly with the media so with ITK journos, I imagine that might have certain perks. They're going down if they appoint him – @GabSutton

Once again, we have to hope whoever the new gaffer is favours a new system without wingers. Every week they offer nothing. Might as well play with 9 men – @Lenny23f8e
