If Its true that Pulis will go in the summer, who would you like to see replace him and why?
We have to be realistic though. Personally I'd go with any of the below:
Martinez
Roberto Di Matteo
Gus Poyet* if we could tempt him away from Brighton I think Poyet would be an inspired installment.

I dont think Martinez is realistic. Didnt he turn down Liverpool?

I would imagine he could be classed as realistic if Wigan are for the drop.

Martinez in one of the worse managers in the league who completley choices to ignore the defensive side of the game and that will eventually send Wigan down.
Di Matteo is a interesting one, he was sending WBA down until he got sacked and he won the CL at Chelsea' but how much say did he have?
Poyet doing well at Brighton but a) would he leave Brighton and b) move up Northe plus his lack of PL experience means it a no from me

Bobby Martinez
Knowing how much many in here love Tones's crazy interviews he should go down a storm.
Here's his latest laugh a minute piece....
"His confidence is based on performances, rather than results. "I enjoyed our performance, particularly in the second half. That was as dominant a performance as you are going to see from an away team in the Premier League," continued the Spaniard, but unfortunately football, unlike ice dancing, does not award points for artistic merit."
PS That was a dominant performance that saw them lose the second half 1-0.
PPS But they did play some lovely pass and move stuff.
PPS And don't forget that the above quote was spoken with that lovely Spanish lilt that just drips stepovers, dummies and daisy cutting finishes into the bottom corner.

I agree with Martinez I suppose, he'd be a risky appointment. But Poyet would be a massive step forward, young ambitious and knows his football. Has done fantastically well with Brighton and they play attractive progressive football. I also think he'd relish the opportunity of managing in the premier league, in my opinion he'd be an idiot to turn us down.

If the rumour about Pulis is true then you can bet your life there is something agreed or almost agreed with his successor. I just keep hoping its either Neville or Solskaer (However you spell it!)

Martinez believes that if you keep on trying to do the correct things results will follow. Personally I don't think he's done too bad even though I do believe this season will end with Wigan relegated. He's got his team to the cup final a feat for which Pulis was much lauded, via a more difficult draw and will quite possibly end up relegated a few points behind us with a fraction of the budget. He's always done it by trying to be positive and setting out to win games not kill them, which normally results in their games being rather decent to watch. Its a philososphy I'd take over Pulis' any day of the week. |

Sorted then Martinez as manager and Bould as his number 2 to concentrate on the defence

Martinez has been there since 2009. So how long are they going to wait for the results to follow?
In that time Wigan have finished 16th, 17th, 15th.

I like the football they play......I just don't like (or trust) a manager who feels inclined to celebrate a result which has pushed them closer to the drop. I think he may be inclined to believe his hype a little too much. |

Depends on who is choosing the manager
If it is entirely Peter Coates choice then you can rule out:
anyone who has not managed in the top flight (so no rookie managers,no managers from down teh divisions or abroad)
anyone who isnt British (so no Martinez)
anyone who wouldnt be fully commited to SCFC (so not Mark Hughes)
anyone who wants a big budget (no Martin O Neill then)
someone who play youngsters
someone who he knows of.
Stuart Pearce then
enjoy
Having said that all this talk of Bould makes me assume Peter Coates might not be choosing the next manager
A Bould type appointment would suggest a move towards the DoF & Head Coach model as employed by WBA
for that to work the DoF has to be
1: very good
2: be able to allow the ehad coach to pick the team
could be a very long summer

I don't wish to imply it I am explicitly saying it he is a conservative (small c) man in every way. The idea that Peter Coates would choose of his own violition some of the managers who have been touted (not just this thread) is simply laughable. We all know that Denise is the driving force behind Bet365 It appears that John Coates is a big Stoke fan my guess is that if the next manager will be appointed by consensus of the board rather than Peter Coates appointment & that Peter would either go in teh summer or go in 12 months rather tha changing teh manager & thr chairman at teh same time. |

There are only, two in my opinion:
1. Rafael Benitez
2. Ian Holloway
Won't happen though as Tony Pulis will stay (thankfully).
EDIT: Roberto Martinez?! You've got to be joking, surely?
Steve Bould, I can see it working out alright, but he won't make us a top-half side.

I've got 3 candidates - each with different levels of risk
High Risk - Poyet - could work but equally could be a disaster
Medium Risk - McClaren - I don't buy into all this he's crap - he's done well at a few clubs when left to get on with it and really improves youth set-ups and styles of play
Low Risk - Benitez - could be expensive (players he would want)
Despite being owned by a gambling company we seem to exactly the opposite normally - ie play it uber cautious - head says Benitez, heart says McClaren
