West Brom chief Nick Hammond is adamant they're happy for manager Tony Pulis to continue next season.
The 48-year-old met with the Baggies head coach before agreeing to move to the Hawthorns and was impressed by the passion which still burns within the Welshman.
He said: “For a guy who has been involved in football for so long, I came away from the meetings knowing one, he has an incredibly high work ethic and two, he remains remarkably ambitious.
“There was a real drive in him when I had the conversation.
“In any year success is trying to be better than the previous year, I think that is where Tony's starting point will be."
Hammond went on: “He has done a very good job here. He came in difficult circumstances and finished in a good position last year.
“This year he has brought players to the club and it has been a very solid season. I have seen him say publicly that he to wants to push on. He is a very ambitious guy.
“You have to progress, standing still is not an option. Everyone else will be doing their damnedest to move forward."
