I think we need to remember one thing here. Dickhead Whelan isnt trying to keep Martinez he's doing his best to get rid and get a nice load of compo. At no point has he ole twat come out and said i want Martinez to stay. All he says is how he wants him to fuck off to Liverpool.
What does that tell you? He must be tugging away at his shrivelled old todger with glee. ( like Newcastle with Carroll!) A manager who earlier this season was being lined up for the sack wins a couple of games and kneejerk Liverpool assume he is the next Messiah because he managed to save Wigans bacon for another season.
All whelanis doing is to try and loe a lameduck manager and get paid for the priviledge
