Dear me…the players had stopped trying for him, can you actually not remember the 3-0 defeat at Sunderland or the embarrassment of getting thumped 4-1 by Leicester after they’d been on the ale for 3 days after winning the league?it was. The great Carlo Ancelloti served up a worse season after being given big funds than Roberto Martinez.
People were distraught when he went to Madrid, but Martinez was actively chased out of this club
His time had come to an end.
Wigan had managed to stay in the PL until he got hold of them and before you ask, yes I remember they won the FA cup, but those things do happen sometimes.
Remember his Wigan team losing 9-0 at Spurs?
