Whatever the reason for the delay, I’d put money on it being a charade just like the Villa job and just like the Liverpool job.
It gets Whelan on every sports TV and radio show, and makes sure Wigan Athletic remains in the news.
Just my humble opinion fellas, and so I bow to the better knowledge of those knobheads on this thread who… well, know better. Obviously.
So you honestly think that a bunch of nobhead councillors are so concerned about Wigan Athletic enough to rush planning through for Monday for the simple reason they don’t wan’t to be blamed for Martinez leaving Wigan ??Yep, they’ll be shiitin their trollies when the “blue klux klan” roll up at their front doors !
Jesus wept .. I bet they don’t even know who Martinez is :ohmy:
Can’t help but fully agree with this! The quotes i’ve read from DW concern me in that it’s not Bob who’s going to think things over, it’s Dave himself. That makes me think he’s trying to back out of stumping up the cash for the training facilities which he himself promised Bob this time last year to make him stay. Stinks on DW’s part if you ask me, but as Griff says, what do us plebs know?
Hmm – intriguing conspiracy theory there Griff! But Bob must have known last summer what the deal was as that’s when asked DW for the training facility. Am also very surprised that they haven’t got planning yet – I thought it was supposed to be ready by the start of the new season?I also wouldn’t trust anything DW says as far as I could throw him – remember the stuff he said about Jewell’s health and then PJ the next day saying he didn’t know what DW was on about. And let’s not mention the war chest ;)
That said, I think Bob will stay, but for much simpler reasons…a combination of love and guilt. A bit like when you’re the reason your bird is now fat, but there’s no way you can dump her for a better offer cos of what it’ll do to her ;)
Whelan only said he looked a little down that season and seemed exhausted.
But we all know why he was really exhausted the dirty little bugger.
Or maybe all the ‘big clubs’ haven’t been in for him like he expected. He will be here next season love him or loathe him.

couldn’t have put it any better myself

Looks like planning permission for the training facilities was granted yesterday.
Well, there’s a surprise….

Stop!!!!! I’m still having nightmares some 6 years later from seeing Jewell’s gurning sex face staring back at me when I opened up my Sunday rag!!

Even so, the timing is impeccable.
No charade being played out,he is a goner :)
Very surprised. Still don’t think this is just about Bobby jumping ship. Possibly something to do with Whelan not wanting/able to give him the assurances he wanted about development issues
So Whelan says it is not about money with Roberto, he wants assurances about training and academy facilities, etc.Whelan says he needs time to ensure he can deliver on anything he promises Roberto in this regard, which is why the decision is adjourned until Monday.
What can’t Whelan guarantee delivery on at the moment, ie what doesn’t rely on him simply putting his hand in his pocket? Because if it was just a question of money, he would simply cough up, would he not? Planning permission for the new training ground, that’s one thing that is currently not in his gift. Would you like to be the council member responsible for Martinez leaving the club by refusing planning permission on the new training ground?
I suggest that this is a political charade being played out by Whelan and Bob, decided to deliver the training ground decision quicker than it might ordinarily have arrived. It wouldn’t be the first time.
Bob to be confirmed as staying on as Wigan manager sometime next Monday, would be my bet.
Yep you got that one slightly wrong …………….ffs
