Does he ever shut up about how good Martinez is? QuoteThe Latics' 4-1 defeat at Arsenal confirmed their relegation to the Championship, just three days after they lifted the FA Cup.Martinez has been linked with the soon-to-be vacant manager's job at Everton but Whelan reckons he will remain at the DW Stadium.Whelan told talkSPORT: "We've got one ambition now, and that is to come straight back up next season."We will fight next year, and we'll look to come back within that first season - it's so important."Roberto knows how I feel about him and I know how Roberto feels about me and the club. He's a very, very loyal gentleman."When the day dawns - and it will - when he says, 'chairman, I want to go to this or that club', I will release him immediately."He is aware of that, and if that time is now, so be it."But somehow I don't think it will be. I'm just hoping Roberto waits and has another one or two years with us, because he will eventually go to a top European club."Whelan added that there had been no contact from Everton."The club have heard nothing whatsoever," he said. "Everton are a super club and they know the rules and regulations. They are very mannerly and I don't think they would ever approach Roberto before the season is over."

2,000 tickets please Mr Whelan.
I don't get how he thinks anyone is going to go from managing Wigan to managing Barcelona in one move. Some people are saying that Everton to Man United will be too big a step for Moyes. Martinez needs an Everton/Villa size job next year. Not that I'd want him.

It may go against club pride etc. but I couldn't give a rats arse about the last game. The aim has been achieved.I'm drained and need to focus on other areas of my life!

Being jubilant about not being relegated is very Birmingham City.

If it wasn't good enough last week why should we give him money now?I agree with Fred. I love the Wigan away trip - easy to get to, friendly locals, found a great pub (the Pear Tree) and we usually win there. But if my money wasn't good enough when it mattered then it aint good enough now. The rancid old cockstrangler can do one!

Being jubilant about not being relegated is very Birmingham City. I did'nt really celebrate any of Arsenal's goals, i just sat there with a contented smile on my face. It's lovely knowing we're safe. I think the Wigan game will be a celebration, not for staying up but for optimisim for the future.
