Here's a comment off another forum:
"I myself stayed in the same hotel as the team on the eve of the Everton game last season and Williams and Pulis were sat nearby in the hotel bar. They spent most of the evening together; drinking, laughing raucously and generally getting on very well, Pulis even planted a goodnight kiss on Williams when he went up to (presumably) bed - a wholly bizarre sight to behold. Ridiculous to base their relationship on such a small observation but it seems obvious they have a very close working relationship and therefore I believe the conservative Williams will give Pulis as much opportunity as possible to turn things around. Unfortunately this may cost us".
If the above is true, and I have no reason to believe that it isn't, then a possible reason why TP has yet to be sacked, when other WBA coaches have been sacked for less, is because of his personal friendship with the Chairman.
