He has secured only two wins from the last 20 league games and Saturday's defeat at Huddersfield has cranked up the pressure.

The West Brom boardroom now set to face a huge decision later this month.

So Pulis and his wife decided to get away from it all this week by jet-setting for a beach holiday in Barbados.

Pulis was pictured soaking up the rays on a sun lounger, pulling his shorts up high above the knee to tan all over.

But he might have to set some time aside to work out some tactics for the next game as the club's owner is preparing to fly into the Hawthorns for their next league game to check on Pulis.

And with their next Premier League opponents being Chelsea, Pulis faces a huge task to impress Guochuan Lai.

Pulis was jeered by sections of the the Albion crowd in their 1-0 defeat at Huddersfield on Saturday.

Despite playing against 10 men for more than half an hour at the John Smith's Stadium, West Brom suffered their third consecutive league defeat, extending their winless run to nine games this season.

Pulis, who helped West Brom finish 10th last season, said the fans have short memories and expectations at the club have gone through the roof.

Speaking after the game Pulis said: "What happens is when you're at a football club, and I've been here nearly three years now, you take the club up and take it up and take it onwards and onwards.

"We finished in the top ten last year, we've brought some good players in and everybody was talking about us finishing in the top eight. That's the expectation.

"That's soon forgotten if you go on a bad run. And supporters are unforgiving, that's not just at this football club, it's at every football club."

Pulis called West Brom's two wins from last 20 league games "one of my worst ever runs as manager".

A poll run by SunSport has previously revealed a whopping 76 per cent of Albion fans want Pulis to be sacked.
