Wigan chief Whelan prepared for Martinez’s Villa decision
WIGAN chairman, Dave Whelan believes Roberto Martinez will reject Aston Villa’s advances and stay with the Latics for at least another season.
Wigan granted Villa permission to talk to their manager, who is thought to be the first choice of the Villa owner, Randy Lerner, to replace Gerard Houllier at Villa Park.
Whelan expects the
Spaniard, who led the club to survival on the final day of last season, to announce his decision today and said: “My gut feeling is that Roberto will stay with Wigan Athletic for another year or two. If he decides to go it will be his decision.”
