If Swansea decide to sack Paul Clement do they go with recently sacked West Brom boss Tony Pulis?
Paul Clement, manager of Swansea City, walks off at the half-time during the Premier League match against Burnley.
Paul Clement is under increasing pressure at Swansea City following the 2-0 defeat to Burnley in their last Premier League outing.
The Swans have now lost their last four matches in the English top tier and sit second bottom in the table and two points from safety.

Sky Sports reports that club owners Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien are prepared to give Clement more time and in fact see the 45-year-old has a key part of their January recruitment process.
However, the Telegraph speculates that Tony Pulis is already being considered as a replacement for the Englishman at the Liberty Stadium following his sacking by West Bromwich Albion.
Pulis does have a reputation of rescuing relegation threatened clubs having never gone down in his career and keeping the likes of Crystal Palace, Stoke City and the Baggies in the top flight.

Yet Clement has been praised for trying to instil something new at Swansea with his continental influence coming from his time as assistant to Carlo Ancelotti at Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.
So unless results improve a decision will need to be made – do the South Wales side stick by their current head coach and his ideas, or follow the similar path of hiring a so-called specialist in avoiding the drop?
