Dave Whelan: Martinez can go to Villa with my blessing

It's an odd situation, and one that I wouldn't have expected to find Villa in. Seriously, what's happening?

Im coming around to the idea of Martinez tbh, like some of you have said, young ambitious and his teams play good football. We'll see though, im sure there's few other managers being interviewed.

As fans we don't know.We're fed speculation by the media and Dave Whelan has told them that there will a decision made today no later than 1.30pm.In all fairness had Whelan not said anything then we wouldn't even know that the club were in for Martinez.Interestingly though Hiddink is 1/5 on for the Chelsea job yet Martinez is only evens for the Villa post

We made contact with Wigan NINE days ago and Martinez didnt exactly come running back from holiday to speak to us..

If he does turn us down then what a ridiculous state we find our club in!!

Funny really.When a player or manager ups and leaves for a bigger pay day we call them money grabbing,disloyal judas bastards.Here we have the prospect of martinez turning down a bigger club and more lucrative contract and he's accused of lacking ambition.IMO if he turns the job down the man deserves respect.

Good points and as always, well made

Cheers, just thought i'd highlight the double standards.

Yep, the man has got plenty of form.Him and Jay were both up and down about Kermit throughout the season.To be honest i have more respect for Vidal.OK he tends to be wrong but at least he sticks to his guns.Deserves some credit for that i believe

Can only assume that Lerner had him in for an interview and quickly decided he was completely inappropriate for the job and the search continues. Lerner is in danger of looking like a tit here.

By taking his time and looking for the right man he wants to take over his club after a massive cock up with the last manager?

Lerner has not spoken a word, so how is he a tit?

Villa actually released a statement yesterday saying that the club will only comment when there is something to tell.So far all we've heard is speculation and Whelan's version.For all we know Martinez may be one of several who Lerner wants to interview.I think he deserves praise for his conduct.

From the moment GH was taken ill Lerner and co must've at the very least discussed the management situation and concluded someone needed to be installed quickly. Perhaps it's Hughes afterall and we can't here about it until July. I'd be happy with that TBH, let someone else take a punt on Coyle or Martinez. I hope Lerner has written to Everton and we're just not hearing about it. Personally I'd rather he got on the phone offered Moyes the job and 35million to play with and cut out the nice guy shite.

But I thought Moyes had already agreed to take over............

It appears that noboby wants the job.

Understandable I suppose, given the reputation of your fickle supporters.

THANK **** FOR THAT.

If the Martinez rumour is true, then Lerner might have to go crawling back to McClaren.
