The answer to that is a resounding no.
But that seems to be the likely outcome for some of those embroiled in the case at the centre of the Lord Stevens led crackdown on supposed bung-givers and receivers.
In fairness, I am surprised that Harry Redknapp hasn't been chased down the street by whistle-blowing coppers yet. The jowel-mouthed, Pompy boss has the air of a used-car-salesman about him and surely there can be no better footballing example of a cut-and-shut than the Senegalese wonder-bint that is Amdy 'all-arms-and-legs' Faye.
As a Charlton fan it has been an alarming sight to see a player simultaenously attack/defend/fall over/get sent off in the space of a milli-second...what a shame he was shipped out to Ibrox.
The other boss rumoured to be on the brink of indictment, dating back to the Panaroma/Bond tango, was Big Sam.
However, Sam is already locked in a striped jumpsuit on Tyneside and with his recent run of form maybe a stay at Her Majesty's Pleasure would be a better fate than being fed to Gallowgate End contingent.
Seemingly the blight of anyone's career is being linked with the England job. Front-runner Big Phil Scolari (another 'Big', compensating?) knocked ten shades of shit out of an opposing player in qualifying and blamed his 'fiery temper' on the whole event. Suddenly the man to revitalize English football looked like a Dad getting over zealous during a Sunday morning 11-a-side tournament.
Note Martin O'Neill who has refuted all interest from the beleagured FA and alas Aston Villa are ascending to the heady heights of Euro football even with Marlon Harewood leading their line. The glory days of Ray Houghton and Steve Staunton taking on the might of Inter Milan could come again.
At this rate expect Fabio Capello to be accosted for ruffing up a pensioner in the coming weeks. I am sure I made that joke about Rafa Benitez before...and it wasn't funny then...it was hilarious!
