Cornish Steve Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 SSN, we've agreed compensation according to whelan. Knew it was going to be Martinez!

Guest blueboy122 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Dave Whelan just couldn't resist stealing the limelight! Still, it sets the stage for an official announcement with all the details. Exactly I see when he was spouting his mouth off last week it nearly got him into trouble as he told the media that Roberto had resigned I.E not compensation would be needed to be payed by any other club. The club then actually came out and said he hadnt resigned he had only been given permission to speak to us and other clubs. Wigan's HR department must go mad every time they see Whelan infront of a camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avinalaff Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 I'd have preferred it to have come from our club. Whelan was quick to point out that Kenwright was a gentleman, and then spills the beans on our potential new manager. Not really returning a gentlemanly gesture.

c1982 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Can't see any other way, Phil neville for assistant manager?? He'll bring Gary Jones (is that right?), followed him from Swans to Wigan - that's unless Wigan promote him of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 From The BBC: (From Cake: How the fuck do the BBC bring The Shite into everything!!?? AAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!) Everton agree Roberto Martinez compensation with Wigan Everton have reached an agreement with Wigan over compensation for manager Roberto Martinez and could name him as their boss by Wednesday. The Spaniard, 39, is thought to have been Everton's first choice to replace David Moyes, who signed a six-year contract to manage Manchester United. Martinez said last month he would leave Wigan after four years at the helm. "Bill Kenwright [Everton chairman] and myself have agreed a deal," Wigan chairman Dave Whelan told BBC Sport. Last week, the Toffees were given permission to speak to Martinez following his request to leave the FA Cup winners after their eight-year Premier League stay came to an end last season. Whelan originally told BBC Radio 5 live at the time that "Roberto has resigned", but a Wigan statement in response said that Martinez remained in charge at the DW Stadium but had been given permission to talk to other clubs. Martinez, who joined Wigan from Swansea in June 2009, was a target for Aston Villa in June 2011 but opted to stay. He was also strongly linked with the Liverpool job last summer. In his first managerial role, Martinez guided Swansea to promotion to the Championship in 2008. Then he joined Wigan - a team for whom he played for six years from 1995 - keeping the club in the Premier League for three seasons despite working with a lower budget than many of his rivals. Under his reign, Wigan finished 16th twice and 15th before slipping to 18th this season, although the Latics continued to attract praise for their style of football. Despite their relegation, Wigan's shock 1-0 FA Cup victory against Manchester City at Wembley means they will compete in next season's Europa League.

StevO Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 He will bring his own men in as part of the back room team. I doubt he will change the team massively. I've said countless times now he will play 433, for two reasons. It is one of his favoured formations and its not a million miles away from the 451 our players are familiar with. I'm excited and I'm behind him 100%. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disputing Whelan's right to wheel and deal on behalf of his club, he just shouldn't have gone public before the deal's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
