West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis could not even afford to cast his thoughts forward to plans for next season.

The Welsh manager finished up the 2014/15 Premier League campaign with the Baggies with a 4-1 loss to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium but was not yet looking ahead to the summer transfer window and beyond as he is set to undertake a seven-day charity row across the English Channel.

"Look ahead to next season? I am looking ahead to 6am to get down to Tower Bridge to jump in a boat to row across the Channel, with seven days in a boat now for charity," he said.

Pulis, who took over at The Hawthorns on January 1, saw the West Midlands club finish the season in 13th position.
