Yeah, I know: that title sounds a bit far-fetched, sort of like saying "Collingwood will win the flag this year" or "Cheeseburger with 0g of fat invented". But it's true - in a round-about way, while musing about life and work during an appearance at a football club's luncheon in Perth (for which he was no doubt paid with sacks of used bank notes and gold bullion, because the world is fair like that), Sam Newman has suggested his role on The Footy Show may not be long for this world. Hallelujah glory be, sting like a butterfly, float like a bee!

"Everyone of these (appearances) could be the last time I appear in public because one day the station...will say: 'Now mate, this is enough, we've had enough of this, you've got to wind it up'. And that will be it. That's life.

"I'm just filling in time until I'll be sacked...which won't take long.''

How can we guarantee that it really won't take long? Can we get every person in Australia to donate $1 to the Sam Newman retirement fund, and then give him a shipping container full of coins and a block in Caroline Springs for him to see out his days on? Send your spare change to the usual address!
