Interesting piece on Martinez .

I've often wondered why he's so highly rated myself. Wigan seemed to go downhill under him.

In his defence I'd say that to keep Wigan up as long as he did without big backing in the transfer market & to win a major trophy is nothing short of miraculous IMO. When he took over money wasn't quite the be all & end all, indeed clubs with more financial muscle have come & gone whilst Wigan have survived.

Had to look up his wiki record as I was fairly convinced he got Swansea promoted to the prem.....but no.
He did a fantastic job at Swansea though and Wigan, well, they were always on borrowed time in the prem so I would say he's not yet in the Bruce/Robson/Keane/Hughes infinate opportunities catagory yet and deserves his shot.

If I was an Everton fan I'm not sure I'd be overly excited at the thought of him becoming manager. But I guess we will see .
