You should read this , even though the guy does talk bollocks with some of his points there are a still few home truths in there . . . (tin hat goes on) :-
Has Martinez not been here long enough for people to form their own opinions?
I can’t be bothered reading the link because my opinions of him have been forming since he came to Wigan with Seba and Diaz. I don’t need anyone to tell me about Martinez, I have witnessed his character, methods and honesty first hand. Martinez has enriched our club and given us a place in the history books and I will be eternally grateful for that.

What a meaningless post – perhaps with £100,000,000 to spend the stats may have been ever so slightly better eh?
why is that what he will have if he goes to everton?
it is a point to ask is the hype of Martinez to be believed.
an awful lot of people do not think so.

Manchester City spent lots more than that I believe.
An awful lot of people? Have you done market research? Have you been elected as spokesperson for this “awful lot”? Not many have backed you up to now.
As previously stated I don’t need to read the Sun to get my opinions. Why don’t you give us YOUR opinion instead of quoting “the hype”.
You wont get anywhere with Ye Olde One as he is drenched in blind faith ! My opinion of RM is that he can ready a team for a one off cup game but on the whole his league form does leave a fair bit to be desired ! My opinion mind ! I think he would make a decent national coach myself !
my opinion,martinez can train/teach players to keep the ball,but go nowhere with it.cannot teach/coach players to defend.his teams look good on the pitch/playing wise, but results count and he has been proved not good enough in league form.one unbelievable cup run and a day me and my kids will never forget.but look at his other years in cups.in cups it is a one off game,but the league eventually finds you out and it has.
my opinion,given me the best feeling in my life at football,but the hype is not to be believed.wish him well if he goes but do not think he will be given the time he has here if he has some of the results we have had in his time here 9=1 at spurs for one.
well I for one disagree …. RM has got us playing football like very few teams in the league can, he has transformed us from what we were a few years ago. Don’t forget that we lost Ramis for a big chunk of the season and Alcaraz at an important time too ….. those two would have been the bedrock of our defence. Instead we had to throw a woefully out of touch Caldwell in at times and it cost us.
I would have loved to see what he would have done next year with the current squad and other players coming in. My belief is that it takes a manager about 5 years to transform a team and club around … owners, supporters and the media especially seem to want and expect results in 6 months …..
I would ALWAYS watch a team (win or lose) that Roberto puts together, because its GREAT to watch …. it might not always win, but it will give 100% and be attractive.
I remember being at Springfield Park in our non-league days and was stood beside a chap very like some posters on here. After hurling incessant abuse at our players, he turned to people around him and said: “What we need is a really fast winger who can beat a man, get to the by-line and deliver a pin-point cross.”
Before I moved away to preserve my sanity, I couldn’t stop myself from saying “So do Manchester United and Arsenal – why would he come to us?”
What I am trying to say is that we are Wigan, try and keep your expectations within the bounds of reality. Eight years in the Premier League and an FA Cup is bordering on the miraculous. Dave Whelan and Roberto Martinez have given us more than we have any right to expect (when Dave Whelan took over, my only concern was that we still had a football club). Pity Tom Gill wasn’t around to witness the miracle and to give lessons on loyalty and support.
