Aston Villa won’t give up on Roberto Martinez
ASTON VILLA are trying to to snatch Roberto Martinez from the clutches of Liverpool.
Villa, who offered the job to the Wigan boss 12 months ago only for Martinez to stay at the DW Stadium out of loyalty to his chairman Dave Whelan, are prepared to have another go following the sacking of Alex McLeish.
Liverpool co-owner John W Henry met Martinez in Miami on Thursday and more talks between both parties are scheduled for this week.
Villa aim to take advantage of the fact Martinez hasn’t been made a firm offer because Liverpool still want to interview other candidates.
