Couldnt agree more. The man needs a chance to prove his credentials. That relegation will of hurt him and made him think he'll never want to go through summat like that again, he will think about the things he got wrong, the decisions, tactics etc, etc and he will learn from those mistakes.
And people talk about him not sorting his defence but last season he went to a back 3 with wing backs to try and stop shipping goals and it worked and they stayed up!. In the summer he brought in Ramis to try and sure the defence up but he got injured for the season when he was coming good.
You cant blame Martinez for the errors his defence made in games, he doesnt play for them and he certainly doesnt tell them to do it either!. Yes, he could of looked for better quality in there, but clearly the better players dont want to be or play at Wigan, simple as, so he as to make do with signing players like Gary Caldwell, who is championship standard at best!.
To lose the calibre of players like Valencia, Palacios, N'Zogbia, Rodallega and Diame, season in, season out, and not be able to replace them with half the quality of those and only be able to bring in championship standard players and keep them up as long as he did and not changing his philosophy is some going in my eyes and thats why the likes of the sh!te, Villa and us are or have been keen on him, cos we can see past the negative of relegation but see his other qualites that he can bring to a side!.
Dont forget, were in a different class to Wigan, in stature, players wise, the lot!. He would do better with our team than he as at Wigan IMO, IF it's him we get?!.
