Tony Pulis insists he has no plans to leave Stoke despite recent speculation

Stoke boss Tony Pulis insists he has no plans to leave the Britannia Stadium, despite speculation about his future.

Pulis continued: "Do you get judged over a bad period of three months? Or do you get judged over a period of time? "Everything is instant. Everybody wants results, results and results, and if you don't get them I understand. "I'm big enough and experienced to know if you don't get results in this job then there is pressure on you, and you have to deal with that pressure." But even if Pulis keeps Stoke in the Premier League for a sixth consecutive season, he cannot currently state whether he will be around for the next campaign. It is more than likely he will face further talks with Coates at the end of the season. "Let's get to 40 points and then we can start talking about everything else," added Pulis. "I hope and want to be here, but it's everybody else, and the two most important factors in this are the family and myself. "I've not said anything and the family haven't said anything." Asked whether he could do more, or whether he had taken the club as far as they could go, Pulis said: "There is still work to be done and other areas that can be improved. "I hope I'm the man to do it, but it comes down to the Coates family and myself getting together and talking about it. But if you're asking me if I'm happy, I've always been happy at this club."
