West Brom boss Tony Pulis eager to stay

West Brom boss Tony Pulis has declared he wants to stay next season.

Pulis' current deal expires in June.

He said: "Yeah of course, I'll speak to the chairman as soon as the season finishes.

"We've got two weeks to go, two important games, and then we'll have dinner and sit down and we'll talk about things. I should imagine we'll be okay.

"I like the football club, it's a good football club, there's no problems for me in any shape, ways or form.

"There's lots of improvement that has to take place but it takes time, it's a good football club."

Nick Hammond also joined last week from Reading as technical director, replacing Terry Burton who left last June, and Pulis believes his appointment is key to the Baggies' long-term plans.

"He's got a very important role to play. He's the club's man. I'm just subservient to this football club," Pulis said.

"I'm manager here for maybe another year or two, or maybe just a month or two weeks. He's working for the football club.

"The club is more important than any individual. Nick will cover things he's been used to working with and dealing with."
