Martinez is due to talk with the owners today in Boston. My feeling is they want him and MArtinez wants the job its just a formality.

However i was under the impression a DOF would be appointed first

Either way TODAY will show significance

Who has told you he is in Boston ?

Reports have him still on holiday.

They did whilst the Guardian and SSN still have him in the Caribean on holiday.

Which media to believe

One day AvB will be announced the next he wasn't interviewed

One day Van Gaal is DoF the next managed

The truth IMO is the media don't have the first clue about what is currently happening

he Wigan chairman, Dave Whelan, is preparing to set a deadline for Roberto Martínez to decide his future after admitting the club is currently in limbo.

The Spaniard is one of the leading contenders for the vacant Liverpool manager's job and has been given permission to speak to the Anfield club.
But with the Liverpool owners, Fenway Sports Group, continuing their widespread trawl of the best available talent, formal interviews are unlikely to be scheduled until next week.
Martínez is currently on a Caribbean holiday but, on his return next week, Whelan will give him a timescale to make a decision – although with FSG in control of the process it may be one he is not capable of making.
"Roberto will be in Barbados until next Tuesday, and I will then set a seven-day deadline by which time I will expect a decision," said Whelan. "Until he gets back it's all quiet on the western front.
"I appreciate everyone is in limbo at the moment and there will come a time soon when we'll need an answer one way or the other. It is dragging on a bit but I only care about one thing – that is the future of Wigan Athletic. Nothing else matters.
"It's important we sort this out properly, one way or the other, so we can move forward in preparation for the new season."
Martínez's name also continues to be linked with the vacancy at Aston Villa, a club he turned down 12 months ago.
Although he remains one of the front-runners to replace Kenny Dalglish at Liverpool, Whelan has not given up hope of hanging on to his manager. "I must stress to our supporters that I am by no means resigned to losing Roberto to Liverpool or any other club," he told the Wigan Evening Post.
"He may go, he may not go. That will be up to Roberto and I will respect his decision either way. But it is not a foregone conclusion. Not at all. Hand on heart, I still believe Roberto will be here next season."

you can understand his position, he`s got to prepare for next season himself and he doesnt even know if he`ll have a manager in place in a couple of weeks time.

Martinez to meet with Reds

Sky sources understand Roberto Martinez is to meet with Liverpool's owners in the next 36 hours to discuss their managerial vacancy.

The Anfield outfit have been searching for a new manager for just over a week following the shock decision to sack club legend Kenny Dalglish.

The Reds were granted permission to speak with the Spaniard soon after Dalglish departed, but as yet have been unable to do so as he is on holiday in Barbados.

John W Henry and his Fenway Sports Group colleagues are now due to hold talks with Martinez as they look to narrow down a field of candidates which initially held as many as 12 names.

Deadline

Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers and Ajax manager Frank De Boer have already moved to distance themselves from the vacancy, while Marseille's Didier Deschamps and Jurgen Klopp of Borussia Dortmund have no plans to leave their current posts.

Latics chairman Dave Whelan claimed earlier on Thursday that he would set Martinez a deadline of seven days from Tuesday to make a decision as to where his future lies.

The 38-year-old has also been mentioned as a contender for the Aston Villa vacancy, but turned down the opportunity to take over at the midlands last summer to stay with Wigan.

He oversaw an impressive end to the campaign with the Latics, which included memorable victories over Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool to avoid relegation by seven points.
