Moyes Potential Replacement

[MACCA75]

well, you cant say that

Martinez is hugely underestimated in
this forum IMO.
people are talking about wigansrelegation but choose to forget
stuff.

I think he has shown remarkable
patience and skills with wigan...he
basically kept them up for many
years, against all the odds, and
whipped us in goodison in crunch
match + outskilled Mancini in FA Cup
final. Anyways, both will do for me.
But I just cant see Pereira here,
Martinez I can.

When you say 'kept them up against all odds' - what odds do you mean? Because the real odds from the rral bookies had it pretty much spot on with an average finishing position of 16-17th.

This guy was coahing the youth team when AVB was at Porto - AVB flopped at Chelsea & has not made the champions league with a massive transfer budget so why risk this novice on this basis - no prem experience may be too much too risk!

AVB hasn't exactly failed at Tottingham, they just missed out on CL and Tottingham are grateful for what he has brought to Tottingham Hotspur.

Portista ‏@FCPortoWorld now
Seems like another day has dragged out without Vitor Pereira committing to either #FCPorto or #Everton. Right now just speculation.

Roberto Martínez era: 2009–2013
Wigan Athletic appointed Roberto Martínez, then manager of Swansea City, as manager prior to the 2009–10 Premier League.[17] He previously played for Wigan Athletic from 1995 to 2001. On 15 August 2009, Wigan Athletic won their opening game of the 2009–10 season, beating Aston Villa away, 2–0 The good form did not continue though, losing the next three games to Wolverhampton Wanderers, Manchester United and Everton before defeating West Ham United at the DW Stadium on 12 September 1–0 to claim three points. The winning run was short-lived, however, with a trip to Arsenal on 19 September ending in a 4–0 defeat. On 26 September Wigan Athletic claimed their first three points against a "Big 4" team after beating Chelsea 3–1, with goals from Titus Bramble, Hugo Rodallega and Paul Scharner.
On 22 November 2009, Tottenham Hotspur beat Wigan 9–1 at White Hart Lane, with 8 Tottenham goals coming in the second half.[18] This was the first time a Premier League club had conceded nine goals since Manchester United beat Ipswich 9–0 at Old Trafford in 1995.[18] The defeat was a club record for Wigan Athletic in the 31-year existence as a league club.
A late surge that included a 1–0 win over Liverpool and a 3–2 win over Arsenal – the latter of which saw Wigan Athletic recover from two goals down with ten minutes remaining to win in injury time – saw the team once more survive relegation. Most notably, having never defeated any of the traditional "Big Four" in the league until their win over Chelsea (and with only one win over any of them in cup competitions), Wigan Athletic ended the season having defeated three of them at home. They finished the season with an 8–0 defeat at Chelsea, who clinched the title with the victory.
At the beginning of the 2010–11 season, Wigan Athletic lost 4–0 to newly promoted Blackpool at the DW stadium, and a 6–0 thrashing at the DW stadium by Chelsea followed. The next game Wigan Athletic beat Tottenham 1–0 at White Hart Lane. Wigan Athletic fell to the bottom of the league by the end of February, following a 4–0 defeat to Manchester United.[19] However, despite remaining in the bottom three for the majority of the season, Wigan Athletic managed to retain their Premier League status on the last day of the season, defeating Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium thanks to a goal from Hugo Rodallega.[20]
On 20 February 2012, the club announced a financial loss of £7.2 million.[21] on 7 May Wigan Athletic simultaneously secured their Premier League status and relegated Blackburn Rovers with a 1–0 victory at Ewood Park.
On 31 December 2012 the club reported a net profit of £4.3m, the first profit in six years. The biggest expense at the club being wages, which has fallen from £39.9m to £37.7m, with turnover at the club increasing from £50.5m to £52.6m[22]
After beating Everton in the quarter-final and Millwall F.C. in the semi-final, Wigan reached the FA Cup Final for the first time in their history. In the final, played at Wembley Stadium, Wigan beat Manchester City 1–0, with a goal by Ben Watson scored in injury time.[23] Wigan's first ever major trophy also gave the club a place in the group stage of the Europa League.[24] Following their 4–1 defeat to Arsenal three days later, Wigan Athletic ended their eight year spell in the Premier League and became the first team to be relegated and win the FA Cup in the same season.
It was announced on 28 May that Martínez had resigned after four years at the club

Lee plea: Give Weir Latics job

RANGERS skipper Lee McCulloch has tipped his predecessor Davie Weir to be the next manager of Wigan.
Everton target Roberto Martinez has announced he will quit the JJB Stadium and has told owner Dave Whelan he plans to move on.
And Gers skipper McCulloch reckons Everton coach Weir would be the ideal man to step into the Spaniard’s shoes at his former club.

McCulloch tweeted: “If RM leaves, I would love to see a young and hungry manager take Wigan back to the premiership. This for me would be David Weir. #nobrainer”
Ex-Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen and former Hamilton striker Graeme Jones — who was Martinez’ assistant — are favourites for the job of trying to lift the Latics out of the Championship.​
