Disturbing news reached FFS during the early hours that local paper The Leicester Mercury's top sports reporter Bill Anderson had some rather unkind things to say about Robbie Savage last night.

During last nights match against Blackpool the ground was rife with rumour that Robbie Savage is due to quit Filbert Street in a £5 million deal with Newcastle later this week. Later on several City fans had their opportunity to ask the Leicester Mercury's Chief sports writer Bill Anderson for his opinion on the rumours. His response not only shocked them but also us aswell when we heard it!

This is what they sent to us:

Several blue army fans stopped at Keele services on the way back from City's 1-0 Worthington Cup win last night and ran into several sports reporters feverishly uploading their stories about the game. One City fan, who recognised Mr Anderson, decided to ask his expert opinion on the latest batch of rumours that Robbie Savage was due to leave for Newcastle United at the end of the week. To their surprise Mr Anderson proceeded to say, "good, I hope he does. There are too many Welsh people around."

Now FFS finds this very unacceptable indeed. To say that he hopes Savage, a firm fans favorite, leaves was bad enough but then telling a fan that there are to many Welsh people is near racism!

FFS understands that Mr Anderson probably had a long day, I mean following City around the country for free must be a very hard and boring job. We understand that he may have been tired, grouchy and probably a bit mardy, but when a fan asked his opinion, in his capacity as a sports writer who is apparently "in the know", he could at least have given a sensible answer. If you don't want your job Mr Anderson I know a few people who wouldn't mind doing it with a bit more enthusiasm than you.

Forfoxsake will be e-mailing the Leicester Mercury very shortly in an attempt to try and find out just what his bosses and indeed Mr Anderson think of this whole incident.
