The decision to remove Pulis came after a dismal run of form that leaves the Baggies in danger of relegation from the Premier League.

The weekends 4-0 loss to Chelsea sealed Pulis’ destiny.

West Brom have stalled in 2017, winning only three Premier League matches since February.

Two of those victories came in the first two games of the current campaign before a torrid 10-game winless run began, with West Brom’s latest result a dispiriting 4-0 home reverse to champions Chelsea.
