West Bromwich, England (SportsNetwork.com) - West Bromwich Albion have appointed Tony Pulis as manager to replace Alan Irvine, who was relieved of his duties on Dec. 30. Pulis, 56, agreed to a 2 1/2 year contract with the struggling side and the former Stoke City and Crystal Palace boss will be tasked with trying to keep the club from relegation. Every successful club is built on unity and that is what I shall strive to help bring to Albion. Pulis, who is Albions fourth head coach in the past 12 months, managed Stoke City from 2006-2013 and steered Crystal Palace away from relegation last season. A strong second half of the campaign saw the Eagles finish 11th, while Pulis won the Premier League manager of the year award, but he quit two days before the start of the current season. We need everyone together from top to bottom - the supporters, all the staff, the players, everyone who has an interest in the clubs welfare. With that, we can go forward together and hopefully take this club up the Premier League. Its nice to be back in and Im looking forward to really getting going. Its the right club at the right time in lots of respects. Ive got a decent record of going to places and helping them turn around. I think the fact the club has struggled, someone just told me theyve only won four games at The Hawthorns in 2014, so theres got to be something wrong that has to be sorted out. I was with the players yesterday and today, theyre a very, very decent group of lads and I just cant wait to get going. Marco Fabian Jersey .

A member of Cup-winning teams with the Kings in both 2012 and last season, Richards is in the seventh year of a 12-year deal that comes with an annual cap hit of $5.75 million per season. Hes being paid $7 million this season, with $6 million, $5.5 million, $4.5 million, $3 million and $3 million in each year. If Richards clears waivers and is sent to Manchester of the American Hockey League, $925,000 of his $5.75 million cap hit comes off the Kings cap and Richards would represent $4.825 million of dead cap space. I dont expect him to get picked up on waivers, Kings general manager Dean Lombardi told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun on Monday. But, theres still time here. He knows what he has to do. That part I am not questioning. The way the schedule is down there, it allows him to get his innings in and conceivably he could be back here. Thats the way were approaching this. Thats the short term. On the long term, he could be a different player. If you remember when Teemu Selanne when he went to Colorado it looked like he was done. He looked done. But all of sudden things changed. He went on for a longer career. Theyre different players but I see no reason why this cant happen here, either. Richards has been a key part of the Kings two Stanley Cup championship teams in the past three seasons, playing a responsible two-way role and providing leadership. But his plummeting offensive production hasnt matched his exorbitant contract for years in Los Angeles, which acquired him from Philadelphia in 2011. Richards, who turns 30 next month, has only five goals and 10 assists in 47 games with Los Angeles this season. He has a minus-7 rating and has won only 48 per cent of his faceoffs while playing on a depth line with thee Kings — not the numbers expected of a player with a $5.dddddddddddd75 million annual salary cap hit for the next six seasons. Los Angeles coach Darryl Sutter and general manager Dean Lombardi have ardently defended Richards and his declining offence in recent years, but Lombardi finally made the move long anticipated by Kings fans after apparently trying to trade Richards in recent weeks. Richards scored 89 goals over three seasons with the Flyers from 2007-10, and the club signed him to a 12-year, $69 million contract extension in December 2007. The Kings traded Wayne Simmonds and Brayden Schenn for Richards when Philadelphia general manager Paul Holmgren decided to break up his core by trading his captain and goal-scorer Jeff Carter, who ended up being reunited with Richards in Los Angeles several months later. Richards contract still runs through 2020. His scoring production has dropped every year since 2010, down to just 11 goals last season. The Kings missed an opportunity to use a compliance buyout on Richards over the summer. The Kenora, Ont., native became the first hockey player to win Olympic gold, world-junior gold, the Memorial Cup and Stanley Cup. He
