Stoke City boss Tony Pulis will consider his position at the end of the season.
The Daily Star says he has made it clear he is up for the fight to keep Stoke in the Premier League - but it might not be a case of him being sacked if the club goes down.
Pulis has always had a strong relationship with chairman Peter Coates and Stoke sources believe if he goes in the summer, it could be of his own choosing.
They say he could quit in the belief that he has taken the club as far as he can.
