If that was the case, Pulis would probably still be there. But (from Wikipedia): "Pulis was sacked as West Brom manager on 20 November 2017, after a bad run of results where they had won only four of their last 22 Premier League games, a run stretching back to 2016–17."I think the thought process behind it was they were so bored with the mind numbing football that Pulis was serving up. They thought by bringing in someone like Pardew that they could implement a more attractive style of play. Easier said than done. That's why the likes of Big Sam, Woy continue to get jobs. The football's not great to watch but effective.
Mind you, at this stage I'm not sure what any manager is going to be able to do with the team. There aren't many players at West Brom capable of producing that attractive style of play - maybe Chadli, maybe Burke, but they haven't done it yet this season, so it's unlikely they'll start now.
