West Brom boss Tony Pulis not bothered by 'route one' rep

West Brom boss Tony Pulis isn't bothered by his 'route one' tag.

Pulis isn't worried about losing the clichéd tag that has always followed him around.

“Who cares? It doesn't bother me a bit," he said. “I'm not concerned about image, what people do or don't think about me.

“It's about doing my job and doing the best I can do for West Brom when I'm here as a manager. You have to wash away what other people say and think, it's about you getting the best out of what you're given.

“This is a terrific football club, it's got the chance to establish itself in the top 10 and hopefully one day go to a cup final and go to Europe.

“That was never going to happen overnight, you've got to have a plan and have everybody pointed in the right direction."
