Stoke City chairman Peter Coates has made it clear that this weekend's clash with West Bromwich Albion will not be swept with sentiment.
?The Potters travel to The Hawthorns to take on the Baggies who are managed by former Britannia Stadium boss Tony Pulis.
?The Welshman was loved in Staffordshire but that does not mean there will be any less desire to produce another win on the road.
?"I'm sure Mark will be treating this one no differently to Tony," Coates told the Stoke Sentinel.
?"Okay, so there is added interest because of the connections between us, but I'm sure it will be business as usual... both will be desperate to win for the sake of three points."???
