rubecula Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I have a friend from London who says that there is a rumour doing the rounds about Roberto di Matteo being interested. I think he is talking bollocks myself as I can't find any links for that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenosetoffee Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) The people I would like to take over from Moyes is Martinez, Mackay, Laudrup. Martinez - I like the way Wigan plays. How he can get his players motivated when he needs to, how he has a good relationship with his chairman. Wigan are also a club with very little money, okay, they are going to get relegated but we have a better side than Wiagn so lets see what he can do with our team. Mackay - Took over from Rodgers at Watford, had a difficult season but kept them in the championship. Moved onto Cardiff, first season got them to the league cup final, losing out to the sh1te and just falling out of the playoff zone. This season finished 1st. Would be a perfect candidate. Laudrup - Had a brilliant season as Swansea but the problem is he isn't very motivated. He has come out and said that himself. If things are going well for him he sticks it out. Not very ambitious if you ask me. Edited May 14, 2013 by bluenosetoffee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcopaulo Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I'd have Mancini before Hughes & McKay though. We won't get him anyway, my tip is that he's going to take over at big spending Monaco. rather have my dog before hughes Quinn31 and rubecula 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Vítor Pereira - porto Lucien Favre - Monchengladbach Martinez In that order for me! Great shout. Not really considered but actually, could do very well. Works with little, to no financial clout and still produces very good teams. Worked miracles with Hertha, considering their lack of funds and also saw the sale of their best players, only to finish well. Doing a grand job at Borussia Moch., 4th and 8th place finishes in the last two seasons, with a very limited squad. Will keep an eye on that one, thanks DRS.

Romey 1878 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Who would your first choice be Mark? Laudrup. I wanted him since Moyes first started dicking us about with his contract. I realise it's a very long shot though . And, tbh, no one else we've been linked with fills me with joy. They all make me feel pretty uneasy.

EFC-Paul Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Moyes has apparently said He will leave it down to Kenwright but He personally thinks that there are people from within the Club that are more then capable of stepping in.... Great logic Moyes let's risk all that hard graft and what has been built over the years on an ex player with zero managerial experience....tit After those comments where made he had a fair bit to say about Ferguson not so much in a managerial sense but how great a man he has become and so on, I might be reading into it to much but it all came across as a bit of a media type stunt to big him up as a potential successor. Hope its just a case of seven twelve hour night shifts taking its toll and my brain going abit tits up and reading into to much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBlood81 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I'd like big Dunc in as the new mans number two but no way should he be considered for the top job. Love the idea of him scowling at the opposition from our dugout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue4Ever Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Guys, this is a guy who wanted to ship out Alonso and bring in barry! He signed some good players for liverpool but there were a fair few clangers. We cant afford for somebody like him to come in and piss our money up the wall on an Aquallani or a dossena yeah to be fair i was amazed by that myself but imo he is a superior manager to martinez who is favourite to come. dont think this is going to be a quick decision.

We're in a completely different position now. We need someone with a good chance of continuing Moyes' work, not someone who will be learning on the fly. barryj and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with Arsenal now leading 4-1 with minutes left and Wigan effectively relegated, hopefully Bill will be on the phone tonight. Well, OK, maybe he's decent enough to wait until the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn31 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I don't know about Martinez anymore. I hadn't heard this until the match today, but apparently Wigan finished 11th the season before Martinez arrived. Of course it is difficult with such a small budget, and losing your best 1-3 players every summer, but still, I'm just not sure. Now getting Wigan to 11th is TRULY a massive achievement (Steve Bruce of all people did it too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msloan78 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I like the article about Pereira in the Echo. Sounds experienced in the scenario we've become accustomed to. No money and having to sell to buy. The more I read and hear about him, the more I become convinced he could be the man for the job. Nothing against Martinez as I think his teams play good (but not winning) football, but I don't really want a manger who has taken his team into the championship. For comparison, look at the impact Mcleish had at Villa after taking Birmingham down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 16th, 16th, 15th & 18th is how they have finished under Martinez. I'd take him if Pereira didn't come as with limited funds that Wigan have and a squad that's ripped apart every season I think those positions ain't bad. I've said many times Martinez isn't my first choice but he's much better than others mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efc1111 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Martinez was asked directly after the match if Wigan could come back up from the Championship and would he be there to lead them, and although he said Wigan have good finances and a positive future he avoided both questions.

Not totally sold on him but I still think he is one of the better options given the names being bandied about, would prefer Laudrup but cant see him wanting to come Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
