Shots Fired! Tony Pulis Defends Sean Dyche & Slams Media for Favouring Foreign Managers

Published on: 21 November 2016

West Brom manager Tony Pulis has slammed the special treatment given to Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp by theBritish media.


Speaking ahead of the Baggies' Monday clash against Burnley -which ended 4-0 to West Brom -Pulis came to the defence of Sean Dyche, who recently claimed that Klopp's methods were nothing revolutionary.

The Clarets coach said that his side were bashed for their high-pressing style, although it looked similar to what Klopp uses at Liverpool -Pulis happens to be in agreement, and speaking to theBirmingham Mail, he gave his own views on the matter.


"That's the way it is, they (foreign managers) come into the country, they're sexy, they're new, they're bright," he said.

''That's fine, brilliant, not a problem for me.I'll listen to them, they say Klopp trains them three times a day in pre-season, absolutely amazing. I'd never have thought of that.


"That's what Sean's on about, they do stuff that is astonishing that we've 'never heard of'."

Pulis added that British managers aren't being given the platform to win titles in the Premier League, as opposed to the opportunities afforded toforeign coaches.


"We could've done with someone stepping in to that top six," he continued."And then taking it on to win something - and that hasn't happened.


"I'm sure other people will get the chance, and when they do you hope they end up winning something.We need that, we need a British manager who's going to win things.

"Young managers, like Sean if he continues like this, everyone talks about Eddie (Howe) at Bournemouth.


"The younger ones coming through might get a chance and that opportunity at an Arsenal or Tottenham, or wherever they come around next."
