Tony Pulis set for summer talks over West Brom future

West Brom boss Tony Pulis has refused to commit his future to The Hawthorns.

Pulis' contract expires in 2017 but he has offered no assurances he will stay and will seek talks with chairman Jeremy Peace in the summer.

Pulis has come under criticism from fans after Saturday's 3-1 FA Cup defeat at Reading and tempers boiled over when Chris Brunt was hit by a coin thrown from the Albion section following the final whistle.

Pulis called the act "barbaric" and has failed to issue assurances over his future, with unease growing at The Hawthorns.

"Let's get through the season, let's sit down and see where we go from there. The most important thing is to try and keep the club up in the Premier League, Pulis told the BBC.

"I'll sit down with Jeremy [Peace] and we'll take it from there."

Pulis has been in charge since January 2015, replacing Alan Irvine, signing a two-and-a-half year deal.

Albion are 14th in the Premier League but have won just twice in their last 11 games in all competitions and host Pulis' former club Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Meanwhile, investigation over Saturday's coin throwing incident remains on-going with Thames Valley Police yet to make any arrests. Brunt was hit as he went to applaud the Baggies fans following their fifth-round defeat.

The police are treating the issue as assault with the Football Association investigating while the club are expected to issue a lifetime ban to anyone found guilty.
