New West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis insists he's happy to work with technical director Terry Burton.

Pulis, 56, insisted he was happy with the structure of West Brom and his 'head coach' role - even if his style is very much as manager.

"You can call me head bottle washer if you want, the title doesn't make a difference," he said. "As long as I know there are specific areas I'm in charge of. Everyone understands our position. We have to be together to make sure the club stays up.

"I worked with John Rudge at Stoke for 10 years. He was director of football and was never a problem. I've known Terry 20-odd years - I've no problem."
