Just one word before the big announcement today. Do you think he will stay or go?
Stay
That’s if, as Garswood has pointed out, the announcement will be made today.
Have just realised that odds for Martinez have severely shortened. :side:
Stay :)
Whelan stated on Talksport yesterday that he had allowed RM another 24 hours to discuss his future with his wife. He did say that the club needs to know one way or the other for the purpose of preparing for what is going to be a tough campaign ahead next season. He mentioned bringing in more players and strengthening the squad due to the extra games, I just hope he was being serious and not just soundbiting again ! The interview left me feeling positive though ! Oh and he said that his gut feeling after yesterdays chat with RM was that he would stay, on saying that he did say that he thought RM was the best manager in Europe right now !
Think he’ll go bob is a very confident person and probably thinks its time to move to the next level.
Go, and what I can’t get my head round is , if it’s Stoke what will be primary task ?
Survival ? That’s not progress.
Unless they think he can get them into the Champions League ,,, :S
According to griff,it’s got rag all to do with us.go
Are you proper thick? Don’t answer that, question’s probably too difficult for you.
Stay.
You can go though, anytime you like.
BBC Sport’s Ben Smith learns that Wigan chairman Dave Whelan and manager Roberto Martinez have held “extremely constructive” talks, but no decision on Martinez’s future will be made today.
Smith adds that the pair will reconvene at the start of next week – either on Monday or Tuesday – with Whelan wanting to see if he can fulfil a number of requests from his manager relating to the construction of a new training ground and the academy.

So its going to drag on for another week at least. Ugh. For the good of the club, this needs to be sorted ASAP.
(On the other hand, if Martinez puts his foot down and says he will only stay if the new training facilities go ahead, and Whelan goes ahead with the plans then it would be great for the long term future)
So it’s up to Whelan now.He has stated he(Whelan),needs a couple of days to see if he can assist in helping Martinez.
taken from sky“We have had a good, constructive talk – nothing about wages it is all about the club and can we move it forward in terms of the training facilities and youth development,” Whelan said.
“It is all tied up in that. He wants to do certain things and I’m hoping I can assist in that but I want a day or two to look at it.
“I don’t want to say yes until I’ve had time to think about it. It will be Monday before I can promise anything.”

You do know that you can create an actual poll, don’t you?
FA Cup Winners 2013, sounds good that
Wasn’t sure how to do it/couldn’t be arsed looking. Will try harder next time.

My gut feeling is that Roberto and Dave Whelan have not finished their “project” of building a sustainable Premier League club from a club that was on the verge of extinction.
It’s obviously not about money but more about building a club to a model that doesn’t have to rely on a benefactor with deep pockets for it’s very existence.
I may be way off the mark but I also feel that, if he was going to leave, he would have gone to Aston Villa or Liverpool rather than Everton (can’t even contemplate him going to Stoke).
Attendances continue to rise and the new training facilities are in the pipeline so the “project” is still alive and well. I don’t think he will leave yet, but when he does, I think he’ll have a holistic football CV which no one else in the game could match.
Hope I’m right – don’t want Fil’s egg on my face ;)
