Rafa Benitez will take his Newcastle squad to Spain for a mid-season break next weekend on one condition - no parties.
Bottom club West Brom made headlines following a trip to Barcelona last month when four players - Gareth Barry, Jonny Evans, Jake Livermore and Boaz Myhill - allegedly stole a taxi after breaking a team curfew.
Alan Pardew's side have lost three on the spin since that incident and Benitez is keen to avoid such a shameful episode during his squad's getaway.
'I am not too bothered about going to Spain for the sun - I can do that any time - but 21 days is too many without a game,' said the Spaniard.
