The Baggies are 13th in the table and without a win since August.

And despite spending an unprecedented £37million this summer, Pulis has not yet gelled his team.

We are into sacking season in the Premier League, with Craig Shakespeare and Ronald Koeman being fired from Leicester and Everton this month.

But Pulis insists the cash he spent this summer is not the reason he is under pressure.

He said: “I don’t think it’s spending money.

“I think you have to spend money and try to improve.

“It’s just about getting the right players in and getting the right balance within the group and the team and results are everything.

“It’s a results-based industry and irrespective of what you spend or don’t spend people take a view on the results you’re getting.

“Outside the top six your results are going to fluctuate, you’re going to have real lows and real highs and that’s the way it is.

“It’s very rare that you have a whole season in calm waters and it’s how you react to those highs and lows that determine where you end up.”

According to the results of our poll, 85 per cent of voters believe Pulis, 59, to be “tactically naive”.

One fan, Stuart, wrote: “I backed Pulis and tried to see positives in things that he did but we have had too many false dawns.

“We hardly even try to attack anymore and we have our best squad for nearly 40 years.

“Pulis was the right man for the job in January 2015 and has sorted out the mess he inherited for which we are grateful, but he can’t seem to move things on.”

Baggies supporter Alex added: “His tactics are outdated in the modern game.”
