Eames Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Does anyone actually reckon he will turn us down?! I think there is . Whelean sounds pretty confident he'll stay . I also think for Martinez himself it would make sense to stay another season at Wigan . I wouldnt be suprised if he himself thinks this is too big of a step at this moment - which frankly it definately is. This worries me hugely. The "top class" managers aren't interested. The "lesser" managers don't feel ready/able That leaves us stuck in the middle with :?: Shhteve? Curbs? AN Other? :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted June 9, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted June 9, 2011 I fully expect him to reject us, and then the reality of that [being rejected by the Wigan manager] will hurt. Agree. Being turned down by Wigan's manager will not reflect well on us. It'll be sobering and somewhat shameful. But I'll take that, just so we don't have Martinez.

steell Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I am guessing if we do get Martinez, our title challenge for next season has taken a massive blow? You serious?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Say if wigan had lost there last two games and gone down, does anyone think we would have considered him? He was actually 15 mins away from relegation. Doubt they would of considered him either. Fickleness. Correct. One goal basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I think Owen Coyle will also be in the frame. I can't see what Martinez brings that Owen Coyle doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NottingVilla Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 YES YES YES YES...... Come On Villa, take the useless pillock. £3m compo and Mark Hughes as replacement, BRING IT ON. I'm sure despite what Whelan says, he knows if Bobs good enough. He's sat through 6, 7, 8 & 9 goal humiliations with him in charge, I'm positive he would " be sad to see him leave." lol Another quote from a Wigan fan.

deeps Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Was rafa contacted Or was it bs? Rijkard has shown interest has he not? I was a lil more excited about GH than RM if I'm honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeevilla Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Is that how low we've fallen? Fallen from where? Winning the Coca Cola cup in 96? Made me chuckle, but it's the cold hard truth. How about fallen from where we were a few short seasons ago - challenging for a CL place and domestic trophies, and on the up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NottingVilla Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Seriously!!!!!!!!! Please tell me that's true. If he needs a lift, I'll drive him. Another quote. Need I go on? Hardly a ringing endorsement of a club legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeevilla Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Quietly excited about the possibility of Martinez, he's done really well with small clubs now is the time for him to step up and build something great with Aston Villa (if appointed). Even if he was capable of doing so, which is debatable, Villa fans will not give him time to build something great. C'mon, he won't last the season unless we're bothering the top 6, which realistically isn't going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NowDoINotLikeThat Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Does anyone actually reckon he will turn us down?! Doubt it, he's likely to double or triple his salary by joining Villa, nobody turns that down unlesss youre already veryt wealthy which i doubt Martinez is yet Nowhere near as simple as that. Whelean could increase his wages a lot to stay - which by all accounts is what hes trying to do. If a manager is seriosuly thinking longterm about his career (rmber Martinez is only 37 - so he has plenty of time to make the step up etc) he may see this as more of risk to his own reputation than staying at Wigan for another season or two. He makes the jump now and it all goes horribly wrong he might find himself out of work longterm. Reputation for managers is incredibly important .
