Pulis extends contract at West Brom

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37798336

An unusual development these days where new foreign owners usually bring in a big name manager straight away (to be sacked 2 months later e.g. Di Matteo at Villa, Zenga at Wolves)

Comments

  • He was getting heavily criticised by nobodies on BBC comments. I do not personally like the guy but unless you are certain you have a brilliant young manager to take over I.e, Southampton when appointing Koeman or Pochettino then why would you sack him.
  • He and the owners, by all accounts, do not get on particularly well.
  • Good manager

    But they need him. They'd be relegated within two years of him leaving.

    That's the sad thing - the financial gap between the Premier League and the rest has made relegation such a disaster that cclubs are better off sticking with dreary play that gets 40 points.

    Or they might push on with a manager who doesn't insist on playing four center backs and 2-3 holding midfielders. There is some decent talent in that side, and it might be that with some decent acquisitions they could aim higher than 14th. Pulis has a glass ceiling, he's hit it.

    My opinion is there is not much between them and sunderland player for player. Stoke have hardly pulled up trees playing free flowing football since his departure and he went to the Nigels when they were certain for the drop and saved them. Football may not be great but that's a great decision they've made keeping him.
