"I have gone through a lot and I think it had gone too far and had become on a personal level," he has said.
"The bottom line is that I'm 30, I'm a father and I was being made to train with the kids or on my own. To treat me the way they did was something I could possibly never forgive them for.
"The last couple of weeks have been horrible, I have not been eating through all the stress and worry, I have lost about 8lb.
"Birmingham have been coming out with things about me almost every day and I want to pay tribute to the way Blackburn handled this. I just kept my mouth shut for a change, I wanted to say what I felt but I couldn't."
Savage continues to insist that his main reasons for wanting a move away from Birmingham was to be closer to his family in Wrexham, something that was questioned in the media.
"That was pretty hurtful for people to belittle me and say that Blackburn was further from Wrexham than Birmingham.
"I lived in Stratford-upon-Avon and it took me two-and-a-half hours to get to Wrexham," he added.
"Now I am playing for Blackburn I will find a house in the Cheshire area 35 minutes' drive from my parents."
