Neil Warnock, as a pre-season bonding exercise, was treating Adel Taarabt and Heidar Helguson to a day's fishing at his favourite venue. He rowed them out to a pre-determined spot in the centre of the lake, looking forward to some good sport.

Whereupon, he clambered over the side of the boat and strode purposefully across the surface of the lake to the shore. Having retrieved the bait, Adel then returned, with the same even stride, to the boat.
