Behave!!!he did make an arse of himself…..needed to keep stum and stop being the Sky sports news spokesman and let it all play out,like he did when we lost 8 on the trot…
I think the Micky mousers (half yank half scouse) arnt exactly being truthfull,1,If rodgers was there number one choice why not chase him in the way they pushed for bobby, 2,why walk down a street in miami when they where called having talks,in full view of everyone.Cant remember in 30yrs employment ever having an interview walking round town. So perhaps some sort of offer was made to bobby,then they have had to back track because rodgers said if he wasnt 1st choice he was intrested
I have a totally different take on it:
Martinez is approached by Liverpool – as were several managers. Whelan grants permission, knowing full well he won’t accept the job, but fully aware of the exposure it will give Wigan Athletic, Dave Whelan and Roberto Martinez to prospective sponsors, players, potential fans etc.
Martinez flies to Miami and has an informal chat, plus a walk for some coffee and there happens to be a photographer in the side street that they are walking down, who recognised both of them and the significance of the meeting. (Did someone get a tip-off perhaps?) It’s an exploratory chat – nothing more.
Whelan then proclaims that Martinez has agreed to stay (what a man that Wigan manager is) and states publically that he will benefit from increased funding, an indoor pitch, and new contracts for his staff (what a man that Wigan owner is).
End results:
Wigan are permanently in the news throughout May and June – those who didn’t know who Wigan, Martinez or Whelan were do now.
Martinez’s reputation has gone through the roof as he was a front runner for the Liverpool job but turned them down. Players will want to sign and play for such a great manager.
Just to convince them further, Wigan are getting better facilities, which should hopefully also encourage the likes of Moses to stay.
Season ticket sales go up.
Wigan’s staff are getting new contracts, so even Wigan’s Assistant Manager has turned down a Premier League club in order to stay. What a club Wigan is!
Or am I being too cynical?[/quote]
Sounds like a WICKED plan B)
