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
So he says he’s off but don’t they have to sort some compensation out ? . Didn’t DW get stung by Swansea when we got Martinez in ?. I can’t see DW giving him away on a freebie after having to fork out to get him.
It could be none of them and martinez is just hanging fire for another club to make him a better offerThat makes more sense :)
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:
It’s a case of what’s on offer elsewere. You either know now or your having a snifter round see what else is going and if it’s no better I’ll take sloppy 2nds on Wigan.
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
You can bet Martinez’s meeting next Monday is about one thing and one thing only “Next season’s budget”.
With so many players either out of contract or ready to jump ship to bigger and better things we could need anything up to 12 players.If the money ain’t there then why should Martinez stop ?. Whelan need’s to take that one last big gamble and put the money down and feck to budgets but my head say’s he won’t.
And if he doesn’t and Martinez does go ? God help the next guy, he’ll have weeks to rebuild a side unless he’s already here.So on that note Graeme Jones would probably be Whelan’s choice, just for the simple reason he know’s the club and right now we don’t have time to rebuild. But if things were to totally change then Jamie Carragher, nevermind stats and coaching till the cows come home , there’s alot to be said about player respect within the game and her might stop us leaking goals for fun.
Why should Whelan invest any more money?
The club posted a profit last year, so why would anyone want it taking going straight back into debt again?[/quote]
Errr , could be something to do with there being 300 million on offer in the Prem for say 3 seasons as apposed to 50 odd million in parachute payments.You can’t take the feckin thing with ya !!!, you talk as though the guy’s down to his last 20 quid…
And I wonder, who out those still under contract have “get me out of here !” clauses now were down ?
Kone ?,
I’m just preying to God it’s Boselli !, If he does I bet he scribbles it out.

I think the stewards, especially the fire steward, should be praised for their heroics in the way they handled the smoke bomb incident in the first half. I’d like to know how many other clubs would have had the foresight to ensure a bucket of sand was on hand to deal with such a potentially life threatening incident.How slow was the old fella ?? ref should have added 10 minutes on …..
