Why not Martinez ?

[WATFORD zero]

On the If Gus were to go thread there are an awful lot of names, but not a lot of support for Martinez.

Given he plays attractive football, speaks Spanish, is extremely loyal, works well with limited resources, has taken Wigan further than they could ever have expected and knows how to conduct an Interview without throwing his toys out of the pram.

I was wondering why people wouldn't want him ?

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Who said they wouldn't want him? He's not mentioned because he's far too good for us.

 

[gazingdown]

I would have no problem with him but I suspect (unless he sees us a long term thing AND Poyet leaves of course) he'll be managing a Premier League team next season.

 

[sten_super]

I've always quite fancied that Mourinho fellow as manager...

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

I'd love Martinez. But I can see little chance of him coming here. I think he'll get a middle ranked premier club at least.

 

[Razzoo]

I can see Martinez at Everton soon.

 

[WATFORD zero]

He could well be favourite (and rightly so) for the Everton job, but if it doesn't happen, he does seem to like a long term project.

And if Gus did go, i think he could quickly regret it. I suspect he could manage for a long time and not find a chairman as good as Tone.

I'd be surprised if Martinez moves this year as I see him being more principled than that. Having won the cup, in Europe next year, some loyalty and a degree of responsibility for Wigan going down, I think and hope he stays there.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Don't panic, we'll end up with Warnock!

 

[Box of Frogs]

I hear SAF may have some time on his hands next season!

 

[MJsGhost]

Would be perfect, but he has no need to drop down a league. Will have no problem finding a top tier job here or abroad.

^ wot he said ^

Martinez turned down Liverpool and Villa last summer. Can't see it happening. Right now, I'd drive Gus to Wigan if we could do a swap.

Is this thread for real? What about Guardiola? Or Mourinho? Or Jurgen Klopp? while we're at it.

I think some people have some serious delusions about our club at the moment. It reminds me of Father Ted explaining perspective to Dougal...

 

[ThePolishJig]

I've seen Di Matteo at the AMEX. I have a funny feeling it will be him or Hughes.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Blimey.

Why not Martinez?

Well, his two options (before even considering us) are:
1 - Stay with Wigan who will be VERY VERY well equipped to "bounce" straight back up.
2 - Join a prem club.

It has absolutely nothing to do with if WE want him or not.

**** Martinez. I want Sir Alex to come out of retirement!

Let's be serious... If he's going to manage a championship team next season it's going to be Wigan. He's a Wigan fan not just their manager. Wigan are also in the Europa league, we're not. Wigan have a chance of winning the community shield, we don't. Wigan have 60 million parachute payments over the next 4 years, we don't.

Yes we have great attendances but Martinez?

In my opinion Gus should stop being a baby and man up! He'd get far more respect from fans and chairman's around the country if he got us up in the next 2-3 seasons.

Taking a shite league 1 team in 2009 to the prem by 2015/2016... And also totally transforming the clubs style of football giving it an identity? Wow is what I think when a manager does that kind of thing. I'm not the biggest fan of Tony Pulis but what a job that man has done at Stoke!

Why not MANCINI?
