John Williams: New Tony Pulis deal 'absolutely essential' for West Brom
Chairman John Williams says Tony Pulis's contract extension is 'absolutely essential' for keeping West Brom stable.
Head coach Pulis has signed a one-year extension on his current deal, keeping him contracted at The Hawthorns until the summer of 2019. It comes after the Welshman guided the Baggies to a 10th-placed finish in the Premier League last season.
Williams has stuck to his word after promising back in February to renew Pulis's contract near the start of the season.
And he's happy with Pulis's plans for the future direction of the team.
The Baggies chairman said: "We are continuing a transition from one ownership to another and it is absolutely essential that this process is accompanied by stability within the club.
"Tony and I have engaged in lengthy and constructive discussions throughout the summer about the club's future direction and I'm delighted that we have agreed an extension to his contract to maintain that stability."
