Robbie Savage says links to the vacant Blackburn job are "pure speculation" and that he "can't wait to see through" his project at National League side Forest Green.

The 51-year-old former Wales international midfielder played 100 games for Blackburn from 2005 to 2008 before a move to Derby and was among the bookmakers' favourites to replace Valerien Ismael as boss at Ewood Park.

After being relegated from League Two in 2024 and losing the 2024-25 National League play-off semi-final on penalties after a third-placed finish, Forest Green are currently fourth in the National League, nine points off the top, but having played more games than the sides above them.

Savage told the club's media team, external on Thursday morning: "It's purely speculation. I loved my time (at Blackburn), brilliant football club.

"I have loved my time here. I have got a great relationship with (the board), we are on a journey and a project and it's something that I can't wait to see through.

"It'll be someone else's name tomorrow. There's nothing at all for the fans to worry about."

Forest Green Rovers have signed defensive midfielder Tate Campbell from Buxton for an undisclosed fee.

The 23-year-old began his career with Birmingham City and made four appearances for the Blues, and has also had a loan spell at Bromley and Hereford before joining the National League North side last summer.
