TONY PULIS could be on the verge of quitting as manager of West Brom.
Pulis is said to be considering his position as Baggies boss in the wake of criticism from the clubs supporters last season.
The former Stoke and Crystal Palace manager has been upset at some of the abuse aimed at him as his team limped towards the end of last season in poor form.

According to the Times, Pulis is less than impressed at the criticism that has come his way even though he steered the club to a top-ten finish in the Premier League.
And he will now sit down with chairman John Williams to discuss his future – with the prospect of leaving The Hawthorns not ruled out.
Pulis was expected to be offered a new contract at the club to replace the existing deal which is due to run out at the end of next season.
Now that extension is not quite as certain because of the dismal way West Brom ended the last campaign.
The Baggies lost seven of their last nine matches, with the last win back on March 18, and that poor form prompted supporters to target Pulis and his team selections.

But in the meantime he is said to be keeping an eye on the managerial market away from West Brom if a vacancy becomes available to would want.
