The portsmouth thing looks very impressive now given their current position, but in terms of resources they had at the time, it's not comparable.


you what?

i dont get your arguement mate.

cuz by what you are saying then the 11th steve bruce got wigan is better than any fa cup win on money spent and also martinez took a team down who had been in the prem 5 years!! so the teams comming up had better resources?

Yes, I've actually studied Wigan's finances. When Martinezs took them down, they were spending less money in transfers than any other tema in the league and only norwich were paying less wages.

He had a much tougher financial psotion than bruce did and far worse than Redknapp did at portsmouth.

Winning the Fa Cup with that club and those finances is really impressive and what he did here in his first season is also impressive, not to mention how well his first european campaign is going. There are more signs that this guy has it than there are signs he doesn't.

im not saying martinez out.

im saying he has his faults and is not the footballing god everyone says he is.

there was worse teams than wigan that year and maybe it was the flerting with relegation every year under martinez that made whelan think?
 
Sound, ill take that bet


Do you pay it online?
we only have 2 games left before Christmas day and we are 5 points of 7th, not doing this to say 'I told you so' but more for the cause. I don't want proof of you paying up, if you say you do then that's good enough for me.

imo, wigan were always going to go down. it was inevitable.

Not forgot, might as well start looking at where to pay it, dont think we'll be top 6 for a months
 

As an international supporter I am curious. Can those who live in Liverpool confirm or deny if there is actually any heat on RM? Or is it just a topic on conversation on forums?
What's the feeling?

Forums and peed of fans.
We will beat qpr and all is forgiven
If we don't Martinez and the players will know about it.

but they had a good enough team to win the fa cup but not stay up.

and before the its over a whole season rather than one off games start. after the fa cup they had to win one game to stay up if i remember right? but didnt.

but could beat the arse in the cup so thats ok.
