Got to say, I've wanted Martinez as soon as Moyes was off. Of course no deal is done yet, but it's now looking likely.
For those who are not convinced by him due to him overseeing a struggling team for the past 4 years, I think there needs to be a sense of reality here. Wigan have never been able to attract the calibre of player we can. Wigan's weakness all along has been their defence. As someone has already said, this can be worked on and bearing in mind we already have a relatively solid back 4, this doesn't concern me.
Wigan's strength under Martinez has always been that they play good football and are exciting to watch. Now this past season under Moyes (Particularly before xmas) we were very excting to watch. I believe Martinez can really build on this and make us more exciting next season. Granted, under a new manager it could go either way - brilliantly right or horribly wrong. I am quietly confident in envisaging the former.
