Temporary West Brom boss Gary Megson has ruled himself out of the running to take over from sacked manager Tony Pulis on a full-time basis.

"I haven't thought about the job. We decided I would take over for 24 hours, or however long it is.

"It's not something I particularly want to do and I haven't given that any thought.

"Nobody is happy about the situation, he (Pulis) has done a fantastic job and is a friend of mine. It's not nice and I've spoken to him a few times.

"It's always sad when someone loses their job. If the relationship has run its course between Tony and the football club, then fine, that happens.

"He's one of the few managers who can say he has never been relegated. He will be sought out by others that's for sure.

"Tony's long in the tooth and taken charge of over 1,000 games, and I've done 650," he added

"In the goldfish bowl of the Premier League, you know you will be under pressure.

"The fans at West Brom doesn't need reproach (for Pulis' sacking), it's fantastic support, but they react to the results."
