Tony Pulis believes managers have never been under as much pressure as they are now.
The issue of stress for managers in the modern game has come under the spotlight this week with Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce getting ready to undergo heart surgery on Friday.
Tests have revealed that Allardyce, 55 - who has complained of chest pains in recent weeks - requires an angioplasty to widen a narrowed coronary artery.
"There is more pressure now than there has ever been on managers in respect of getting results," Pulis told Press Association Sport. "The media now has become an absolute monster.
"Whether it's the internet, radio, television, there are always areas of debate, but you have to accept it.
"We know where we are and what job we are doing and we know that all the experts are sitting in the stand."

exactly....well said.
Not experts Pulis, just 27,000 football supporters who can see the blindingly obvious mistakes you're currently making regarding selection and approach. Take off the shackles, stop playing your favourites out of position, include the quality that's warming the bench and the media and the crowd won't give you and the players such a hard time. Playing with the fear of losing will never make for any kind of spectacle...
