I don't believe that Pulis has changed his philosophy on football at all and I don't believe the club has told him to either.
Discussions will have been had about what the problems are and I have no doubt that Pulis will have told the Board that they need to stop messing about looking for 'bargains' to balance the books and invest in some real quality. He will have also reminded them what a good job he had done keeping the Club in the Premier League with, what was basically, an over bloated squad of journeymen....and Berahino!!
We are now starting to see the results of Tony Pulis's 'football philosophy' with the addition of some of his targets, Phillips (the QPR reject, as he was labeled by some on here), McLean (can't believe some still doubt him), Evans, Rondon and Chadli.
We are probably THE most organised and hard-working team currently in the Prem and very dangerous on the break. This hasn't happened by accident. It has happened because Tony Pulis persevered with his vision of how we should play, despite the vitriol aimed at him.
Hopefully, all those Baggies that decided to 'stay away' have a rethink and return to the Hawthorns and get behind a bunch of players who look like they enjoy their jobs.
Looking forward to a happy 2017...
PS. Did anyone notice the 'man-hug' Ben gave Shane Long...
Having said all that, we will probably lose to Hull now...
