I'm not "worried" at all. The bloke took the job without any such conditions, and he's just got to get on with it.
Presumably he didn't ask for the credentials of the Scouting/Acquisition Staff at the interview, and the Cole & Olssen situations were out of the Club's control, and I've no doubt at all that Pulis would have had some input to which players he wanted to bring in.
Peace would have said to any interviewees "You've got upto £20m (or whatever) to spend in January, but what would your reaction be if we couldn't actually spend a penny?" Pulis would have had the opportunity to say "If that's the case, I'll be off." which, presumably, he didn't, else he wouldn't have been given such a good well-paid job.
Pulis isn't The Messiah - he's just the best candidate that was available in December. It's early days but, so far, he hasn't exactly turned us around as yet. Just hope I'm being my usual pessimistic self.
