Martinez undecided on future

WIGAN chairman Dave Whelan expects Roberto Martinez to make a decision on his future today — and thinks the Spaniard will reject Aston Villa’s overtures to remain as Latics boss for at least another season.

On Wednesday night Whelan granted Villa permission to talk to Martinez about the possibility of taking the helm at the midlands club.

Martinez is thought to be Villa owner Randy Lerner’s first choice for the position, which was vacated by Gerard Houllier last week, although Bolton’s Owen Coyle has been linked with the role too.
