Did anyone watch Tony Pulis's first media interview after his appointment? Terry Burton was sitting next to him and was squirming, especially when TP said the relationship between a manager and the chairman is a really important one, never mind that the management reporting line goes TP-Terry Burton-JP!
I honestly can't see how TP is ever going to report to Terry Burton, who seems hopelessly out of his depth with such a strong character and proven manager as TP. What TP wants, he will let Terry Burton know for sure, but Pulis will then speak directy to JP.
TP has already said he's sat down with JP to tell him what's required in the January window. I could never imagine any of that happening under Alan Irvine.
I reckon Terry Burton already feels redundant.
Good old TP! He's just what the doctor ordered.
