Tony Pulis: West Brom boss 'disgusted' at Stoke over Ryan Shawcross claims

West Brom boss Tony Pulis has reacted angrily after being accused of calling Stoke's Ryan Shawcross "a loser".

On Friday, Potters boss Mark Hughes said the defender had received a voice mail from Pulis two days after Stoke's 1-0 defeat at West Brom on 4 February.

Before that game, it emerged that Saido Berahino, who moved from West Brom to Stoke, had served a two-month ban with Stoke blaming the Baggies for the leak.

"It has been spun in a horrible way," said Pulis on Saturday.
