I think Martinez is so overated, mainly by the press. Why a manager to be lauded so much after skirting with relegation for the last 8 seasons is beyond me. You'd think after 8 goes at it, he might have made a decent fist of staying up but now that he has gotten them relgated, he'll be off to Everton I suspect, leaving Wigan in the Championship and in a lower tier of football, earning less gate and TV revenue, with players clamouring to jump ship and the whole set up in a much worse position than it was 8 seasons ago, albeit with a nice gleaming trophy on their cabinet!
