Dave Whelan to hold Roberto Martinez talks

Wigan chairman to hold Martinez talks

Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan has said that he will hold talks with manager Roberto Martinez on Monday after the side lost 2-0 to Swansea City at the DW Stadium.

The Latics, who remain bottom of the Premier League table, have now gone 12 home games without a league win.

"That was our worst performance in four or five years," said Whelan.

"I will have a meeting with him on Monday morning and ask him some questions about the performance and his selection.

"We had three quality players on the bench and I want to know why."

Despite his demand for answers, Whelan has insisted that Martinez's job is safe.

"Roberto Martinez's future is secure," he added. "He has done a great job for the club, but we will have a meeting on Monday when he will put his cards on the table and I will do the same."

The Spaniard, who signed a new deal in the summer, took over at Wigan in 2009.
