After his unhappy spell at the Hawthorns, the former West Brom manager has a left-field theory as to why modern dressing rooms are so volatile.
Alan Pardew has claimed that WhatsApp groups are partly responsible for "toxic" dressing rooms in modern football.
Pardew has been out of work since he was sacked by West Brom in April 2018, four months after he took over as manager. By the time he left, the Baggies had suffered eight consecutive Premier League defeats and were rock bottom of the table.
Pardew's time at the Hawthorns was blighted by low morale in his squad, not least after 'Taxigate'.
