Martinez is preferring to stay at Wigan over moving to villa. Why? This must suggest that there are significant problems at Villa
No he's not, Brucey is third favourite Hughton has drifted out slightly from evens to 6/4, Malky's odds have come in slightly as well.
The contract allows a manager to resign by mutual consent- both parties have to agree. Norwich have not agreed, so technically he is still our manager. If the talks do not go through with Villa, he will continue as Norwich manager. There will be further clauses in the contract discussing what happens if Norwich don't release him- contrary to reports, we'll get some form of compensation (unless the board consent). This is the equivalent of them having just nicked him. By tendering his resignation, Lambert has basically forced the board to allow him to speak to Villa, but by refusing the resignation the board have said fine, but we're still happy for you to return.
