Dean Ashton feels West Brom players will enjoy playing for Alan Pardew.
Pardew, who Ashton worked with at West Ham, has confirmed talks with West Brom about the manager's job.
He told Sky Sports: "They'd be getting a super confident man, who is very confident in his own ability. I loved playing under him, because of the style of football.
"He'll go in there and it won't be like Tony Pulis in terms of lots and lots of shape, it will be how he can affect the teams, how he can attack, how he can hurt teams.
"A lot of the training was like that, which is why it was so enjoyable for the players.
"If they're looking for that sort of manager, who goes in and gives the players a lift, he certainly is that type."
