I hope your faith is correct. But I'm just reminded how the likes of Paul Jewell and Steve Bruce placed their Wigan sides better in the league than Martinez ever managed.
You really don't count getting his side relegated with one game to spare as not a thought-out reason against him?
You've got to remember the different types of squads the likes of Jewell and bruce had compared to Martinez though!. Here's a list of some of the players Jewell had at his disposal - Chimbonda, Ellington, J. Roberts, D. Thompson, Bullard, Baines, de Zeeuw, one time Everton play M. Jackson, L. McCulloch, Henchoz, Kirkland, Heskey, Landzaat & Valencia!.
Bruce had most of them and the likes of Melchiot, Bramble, Palacios, Cattermole, Zaki & N'Zogbia!.
Alot of them players were either ageing or sold for decent fees and not replaced with anything near the same amount of quality when Martnez took over, he had to reduce the wage bill and lose some good players for good fees and not see all the money.
If you look at the players what Jewell and Bruce had, no wonder they did better!. And Martinez keeping Wigan up as long as he did and playing the way they did was nothing short of brilliant cos lets face it, the Wigan team now is half full of championship standard footballers!.
And so what if he's got Wigan relegated, there's some top managers around the world that havent done so well with certain clubs! Take Klopp for instance, relegated with Mainz but as took Dortmund to a new level and made them one of the best sides in world football!.
Look at Wenger, he didnt have the best of CV's before coming to Engalnd and was managing in Japan before Arsenal took a punt on him!. In his first managerial job he did **** with Nancy and even got them relegated eventually, before moving to Monaco and being a success.
And im not saying Brenda is a top manager but he went to Watford and did nothing, left them for Reading and got sacked but went to Swansea which suited him due to the style of there play, what had been put in place and coached into them by a certain Martinez and he did well there, leading him to become the shtie manager!.
Martinez under the circumstances as not done too bad at Wigan for keeping them up as long as he did, but compared to his Swansea days, you could say he's done crap cos he did well at Swansea!. He got them playing well and defensively they was sound aswell, but at Wigan he's had average defenders which will lead to conceeding goals!.
People need to be given a chance and not be wrote off due to them having a bad time of it at one club. It'll be a massive learning curve for him will that at Wigan and im sure that with better players and a better set up, he'll work wonders, especially with the right men around him, which we seem to have at the club!.
IF it's Martinez that gets the job, then i'll definitely back him and wont be too displeased with his appointment thats for sure!.
