Wigan still hopeful on Martinez
Wigan chief executive Brenda Spencer is confident Roberto Martinez will agree to become the club's new manager.
The Latics have moved quickly in an effort to replace Steve Bruce, who left the JJB Stadium on Wednesday to take charge of Premier League rivals Sunderland.
They were given permission to speak with Swansea boss Martinez on Thursday after agreeing a compensation package with the Championship club.
Wigan chairman Dave Whelan had been hoping to confirm Martinez's appointment within 24 hours but an announcement has yet to be made.
Spencer has now admitted that it may take a little longer but has assured supporters that negotiations are progressing smoothly.
"Talks were really positive and I am confident that everything will go through," Spencer told the club's official website.
"As with all these talks there is a lot to go through and agree.
"Roberto and I will continue to keep in touch over the weekend and we hope to announce something early next week."
