Pulis defends job after Bournemouth defeat

Last updated : 11 September 2016 By Wba-mad Editor

Tony Pulis defended his role at West Bromwich Albion after the away fans turned on the head coach after defeat at Bournemouth. 

The hosts took the lead in the 79th minute when Callum Wilson flicked home from close range. 

Matt Phillips came the closest to scoring with a free kick that rattled a crossbar but it was another disappointing away performance from Pulis men. 

Disgruntled supporters turned on Pulis at the final whistle after another frustrating and disjointed show. 

But Pulis insists he has hit his target as Albion manager so far. 

"I’ve been here 20 months and my remit 20 months ago - and Jeremy has always been honest and straight with me - he wanted to sell the football club," said Pulis.

"The club has, for two years or the two ends of the season, made a profit. We’ve finished 13th and 14th. That was my remit.

"There’s clubs underneath us who have not made profits. There are actually big clubs that have been relegated with massive debt.

"The remit was to keep the club in the Premier League while making profits and that’s what we’ve done."
