Tony Pulis admits he wants to stay at West Brom beyond the year he has left at the club

West Brom manager Tony Pulis says he wants to stay at the club and is hoping to open contract talks at the end of the season.

Pulis has just one year remaining on his current deal but will discuss a new contract with chairman Jeremy Peace once the season ends.

Pulis replaced Alan Irvine as manager at the Hawthorns in January 2015 and successfully guided the club to Premier League survival and has secured the Baggies' top-flight status for this season.

However, with games against Bournemouth and Liverpool still to come before the end of the campaign, Pulis says contract talks can wait.  

"I'll speak to the chairman as soon as the season finishes," Pulis said. "We've got two weeks to go, two important games, and then we'll have dinner and sit down and we'll talk about things. I should imagine we'll be okay.

"I like the football club, it's a good football club, there are no problems for me in any shape, ways or form.

"There's lots of improvement that has to take place but it takes time, it's a good football club."

Pulis is pleased with the club's direction and the appointment of Nick Hammond, who joined the Baggies as technical director as a replacement for Terry Burton who left last June.

"He's got a very important role to play. He's the club's man. I'm just subservient to this football club," Pulis added.

"I'm manager here for maybe another year or two, or maybe just a month or two weeks. He's working for the football club.

"The club is more important than any individual. Nick will cover things he's been used to working with and dealing with."
