Tony Pulis set to be named West Brom manager
London: Tony Pulis is on the brink of becoming West Bromwich Albion manager after rejecting Newcastle United.
The former Stoke City boss, who quit Crystal Palace on the eve of the season, is clear to work again from Jan 1 under his severance deal with the south London club, reports.
He had been interested in the vacancy at Newcastle but told his advisers to end talks when they became worried that controversial club owner Mike Ashley and head scout Graham Carr would want a say in team selection.
Ashley and Carr control the recruitment of players at St James’ Park, a situation Alan Pardew reluctantly accepted. But it was a factor in Pardew’s decision to accept an offer to become Palace’s new manager.
Pulis, 56, was not prepared to accept that. Indeed, Pulis insisted he would only succeed sacked head coach Alan Irvine at The Hawthorns if it was written into his contract that he would be in charge of transfers.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
