Roberto Martinez has been at wigan fir just under three years now and every season wigan have been down at the bottom but just survived but it doesn't look likes that's going to happen this season as wigan sit bottom of the league.
Martinez' team selection has been questiond on many occasions and his recent starting line up against his old team swansea during their 2-0 home defeat raised a few eyebrows with him leaving three star players on the bench in Rodallega Diame and Moses.
After the awful perfomance against Swansea in whitch they lost 2-0 chairman Dave Whelan came on Bbc Radio 5 Live expressing his dissapointment and confusion at the team selection he said " it is the worst performance ive seen in over 5 years roberto's team selection was poor , the players didnt looked like they cared i will arrange a meeting with him on monday to discuss what's going wrong today he left our three star players on the bench and i need to know why some of our players have been on international duty but many teams players have he has been a good boss for this club but today he got it wrong on monday i will lay my cards on the table and he will lay his and we will find a way to move foward" In that statement whelan went from one extream to another in quick succesion
And that will leave wigan fans uncertian at the bosses future.
Martinez has done a quite bad job this season his team selection for numerous games has been wrong but he hasnt been given the money to spend on players after the departure of key player Charles N Zogbia he has attempted to replace them but he hasn't spent enough on them to get a decent winger in. In the summer wigan attempted to replace N'Zogbia with buying Shaun Maloney from Celtic and Albert Crusat from Espanyol but netheir have done much for the first team. The young spanish man was given five million to spend in the january window but used four of it on buying winger Jean Beausejour from N power championship side Birmingham City but the Chillian International is yet to find form and has been very inconsistent
Why the shoudnt sack martinez
Martinez showed wigan some great loyalty in the summer when aston villa wanted him but he stayed at wigan
Should Whelan repay that with not sacking him?
Also martinez has provided Wigan fans with some of the best days in their intire lives like the 3-1 win against Chelsea in September 2009 , the 1-0 win over Liverpool the amazing combacks Against Arsenal and west ham in both games they came from 2-0 down to win and the away wins at Blackpool and Stoke last season to help them to survival also this season a huge win at Bolton Wanderes.
But i think one way or another martinez will soon go ethier Whelan will sack him or in this meeting on monday Martinez may resign if it goes wrong.
Whelan would never sack him
