West Bromwich Albion have sacked manager Tony Pulis following the team's disappointing run of form in the Premier League.
News that Pulis has been given his marching orders came via the club's official website on Monday.
Baggies chairman John Williams thanked Pulis for his efforts but made it clear that results were not good enough in comments to the club's official website:
"These decisions are never taken lightly but always in the interests of the club.
"We are in a results business and over the back end of last season and this season to date, ours have been very disappointing.
