[Mr Diggles]

Ian Taylor has been on SSN saying that he is definitely our number one target surely he would know ??

He's a club ambassador.

I'd imagine the only people who really knw are the board members.

Appointing RM is bad enough, but hiim being our number one target beggars belief.

It isn't true though is it, and the media and footballing world know it can't be true. Ancelotti, Hughes, McLaren, Benitez, Jol - all rumoured to have been on ourshortlist. Martinez was at the head of them? Please. Why the club would want to re-write history after the event is a little unnerving.

It's all becoming a bit embarrassing. We start off with Ancellotti and Benitez in the frame - and it now looks like it is Martinez.

I am not anti- Martinez,and we may be catching a man on the way up, which is great. But when MON rang Young, Milner and Downing they listened - would they have done the same for Martinez?

I don't see how it can be embarrassing when we don't know for sure who is and isn't in the frame.

[Brend'Watkins]

Wheelan just been on SSN saying he is just about to meet Martinez to give him a new contract. If he accepts our search goes on - if not it looks like we have our man.

He says he hopes for a decision well before 1pm

So the real reason is that Martinez is using the Villa to up his salary?

I wish Whelan would keep his mouth shut and go about his business without barking out his every move.

Issue is we will not be ringing the likes of them players anyway from now on so why appoint an Ancelotti when you are going to be ringing players like Dudek?

If RM turns us down then this PR Disaster continues

 Only PR disaster because the board arent resorting to biting everytime the media makes up BS. I mean they say Rafa turned us down because we dont have money even though we broke our transfer record in January with an England International striker.

Hughes now favourite on Betfair.

[PeterZ]

only one manager has turned us down so far for certain - Ancelotti, always a long shot

what actually happened with Benitez - who turned down who ? was there actually contact ?

[j3598]

Fingers crossed he signs a new deal at Wigan - but where that then leaves us, I just don't know. We could very well end up looking stupid, although thats mainly down to the way everything is being reported.
To think that I was disappointed when I thought it was Hughes, but Martinez is so uninspiring, I really thought RL would use this as an opportunity to get us back on track so as to avoid what happened last year. Is there still hope that they have got this wrong and there is a big name still in the wings? Please...

If martinez is and has been our No.1 target, you have to wonder who is advising the board on our manager search. Im not anti-martinez but with the managers available when we started this search and a real statement of intention that could come from that, martinez is very were happy to be a mid table team, which is massively dissapointing.

[aev]

Martinez double the odds of Hughes now.

[Matt Collins]

Mirror reporting firm decision he stays at WA. Talksport too

[Maradona10]

Martinez staying at Wigan.

[Irreverent ad]

Right I cannot take anymore of the changing candidates, smokescreens and games. I need some normality back in my life.

I will find out about Martinez, then I am going to have a Villa free weekend and hopefully it will be sorted by Monday!

It will be, won't it...
