I wouldn't want Martinez anyway, any guy who cannot speak for himself but needs a chairman to act as his puppetmaster and speak for him, is not for me.
The biggest laugh would come from Martinez going to somewhere like Swansea or Norwich!
Dave WhelanDavid Whelan (born Oop Norf in Yorkshire on 24 November, bloody ages ago), is a former professional footballer with Blackburn Rovers, a gobshite, and the current owner of Wigan "not so" Athletic football club. Additionally, he owns the JJB dosswear chain (football shirt prices non-negotiable) and the Pooles Pies Stadium where Wigan play. He is regarded as Wigan's only Expert of British Footballing Law, well in his own eyes at least. Whelan was a member of Blackburn Rovers' 1960 FA cup final team, which lost heavily 0-3 to Wolverhampton Wanderers. Whelan himself did not complete the match, breaking a leg during the first half. Whelan's injury is one of a catalogue of serious injuries suffered by players in the 1950-60 era and was known as the Wembley hoodoo. After retiring as a footballer, Whelan sought to attain some qualifications to compete on the saturated job market with. He trained at Wigan Polytechnic for 5 years to attain his degree in bias, to which he is stated to be very proud of. It was while studying there that Whelan met his future partner Mark "the ******" Lawrenson who was also a washed up footballer at the time and was studying for his qualification in inaccurate predictions. Wigan AthleticHe bought Wigan Athletic in 1995 when they were an unfashionable Division Three side. Since then the club has made huge progress and are, nowadays, an equally unfashionable Premiership side. This rise began with the Division Three title in 1997, Division Two title in 2003 and promotion to the Premiership as Championship runners-up in 2005. He has appointed six managers during his time at Wigan: John Deehan (1995-98), Jeremy Bentham (1998-2000), Bruce Forsyth (2000-01), Steve Irwin (March-May 2001), Paul Jewell (2001-2007), Chris Hutchings (About a fortnight) and Crying Old Geordie Woman (2008-). Thanks to Whelan's resources, Wigan, who were tipped to be relegated from the Premier League in their first season, managed to stay up, and claimed a high league position, They also got to their first Cup final in 2006 when they reached the League Cup Final. in the 2006-2007 season, Wigan Athletic were exposed for the Championship team they really are after losing 3-0 to West Ham United. In an attempt to shift the blame from his own team, Whelan appeared in numerous interviews threatening legal action against West Ham United because they beat them. In other statements he went on to references to having complete faith in Paul Jewell as Wigan manager and more, stating "if he can command a team anything like he can command my whip, he's the right man for the job". The next day Jewell was sacked. Upon questioning on his motives for this, Whelan claimed he had never liked the "miserable fat ******". Trivia Whelan's business JJB was originally known as BJ but upon learning what the acronym actually meant, rebranded immediately in order to save face. Due to licensing issues the stadium kept the original name. Many people still regard the business as BJ, however, and rivals Mike Ashley Shit Sports Inc as purveyor of rubbish chavvie apparel for man, woman and bastard offspring. owns DW sports fitness which employs mcnuggets
I hope we give Whelan as much abuse as possible when Wigan arrive at Villa Park this season
he's also one of the very few chairmen who has played the game at proffesional level
