Pulis waiting for his Leicester reward

Saturday, April 30 2016 by SNTV
  • West Brom head coach Tony Pulis spoke on Friday (29th April) about his team's draw with Tottenham and Leicester City's remarkable story.

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Tony Pulis, West Brom head coach:(Q: Did the postman deliver you a gift wrapped bottle of wine from Leicester this week?)

    "It hasn't arrived yet but we're waiting. It was a good performance. First half I think we were on the back foot. Tottenham were very good and they are a very good side. Everybody there, the manager and everybody else deserves a lot of credit. Nobody has taken into consideration that they've played in the Europa Cup competition, which is a Thursday and a Sunday and it's very difficult to do. To achieve all that is absolutely fantastic but as I said form the start, if I had to pick one I'd love Leicester to do it. It's certainly in their hands now. It's theirs to take. I'm sure Tottenham will try to win the three games and hope that Leicester do slip but we'll see."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Tony Pulis, West Brom head coach (on comparing Leicester's achievements to Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest):

    "As I've said, going back a long time ago, a few of you will remember when Nottingham Forest got promoted with (Brian) Clough. They then went on and won the league and then the following year I think won the European Cup. That was extraordinary. This is as big if not bigger because there is a massive divide in the Premier League between teams who have and teams who haven't. For Leicester to achieve it, if they do fingers crossed achieve it'll be as good as anybody can imagine as a shock to people. It's massive really, nobody would have believed it."
