[WBA Will]

I agree that the priority is staying in the Premier League. I like seeing good players turn out for us against the biggest clubs, neither of which we would see in the Championship. However I think it's a very disingenuous argument to say that Pulis is a necessary sacrifice for this to happen; there are quite a few clubs in no danger of relegation that play much better football than us on a similar budget, and even with Pulis we're definitely not safe! That rhetoric is simply a false dichotomy. You're all correct that we haven't got the biggest budget in the league so I think it's pretty clear that we can't afford to give Pulis another transfer window to sign more expensive dross, which is what he did at Stoke and what he did last summer. I can't blame JP for not giving TP any more money in January.
