FORMER Swansea City boss Roberto Martinez (pictured) is ready to take on the chin whatever reception he is given by the home fans on his return to the Liberty Stadium on Saturday with Wigan. It was a controversial decision by Martinez, who had previously said he would only quit Swansea if he was forced out, and he was jeered by the home fans when Wigan played a Carling Cup tie at the DW Stadium last season.
The Latics will be the first club to play an away game in the Premier League outside England, and Martinez hopes the excitement of promotion to the top flight will have helped Swansea fans understand why it was a chance he felt he could not turn down.
The Spaniard said: "I understand and I'll accept any sort of reaction. I'm sure the fans, looking back now, they understand more my decision. They see the football club reaching the dream of the Premier League.
