    CLUBPERARNAU P 44 TONY PULIS LA NUEVA VIEJA ESCUELA Agustín Galán La figura de Tony Pulis es una de las más veneradas dentro de la Premier League actual. Su apariencia y sus maneras de la vieja escuela lo llevan siempre a banquillos en los que la prioridad es la permanencia y los presupuestos son tan ajustados que no parecen pertenecer a la competición en la que se baten récords de traspasos cada verano. Con todas estas limitaciones externas, el galés se ha convertido en un especialista en sacar jugo a sus plantillas, como se ha vuelto a demostrar una vez más con un destacado West Brom, que terminó el curso 2016-17 en una desahogada décima posición.

The results demonstrate that, on average, a managerial sacking results in a post-announcement day market-adjusted share price rise of 0.3%, whilst a resignation leads to a drop in share price of 1% that continues for a trading month thereafter, cumulating in a negative abnormal return of over 8% from a trading day before the event.
