Bungee-jumping and dwarf-throwing may not be on the agenda, but Fabio Capello has hinted at a more relaxed approach if England qualify for next year's European Championship.
England can clinch their place at Euro 2012 on Friday if they take a point off Group G rivals Montenegro, an outcome that would leave Capello free to start drawing up plans for the finals in Poland and Ukraine.
The Italian would not be drawn on how England might prepare for the tournament until qualification was sealed.
However it appears likely that lessons have been learned following England's ill-fated 2010 World Cup campaign, when Capello's squad were shuttered away at a remote purpose-built training camp.
The squad's isolation was cited as one of the reasons for England's lacklustre performances at the tournament, where they scraped through the first round before being thrashed 4-1 by Germany in the last 16.
Capello insists that only results will determine whether England's plans for Euro 2012 have been successful.
Asked to comment on whether he might grant England's footballers the same sort of freedom that England's Rugby World Cup squad has enjoyed in New Zealand, Capello would not rule anything out.
"Look, everything when you win is good, is the perfect choice, the best choice," Capello said. "If you go out, if you drink, if you go with the women -- everything is good if you win. When you lose it's a disaster.
"The results are the most important thing. Everything is good when you win, everything is wrong when you lose."
Capello however is not convinced by the theory that part of the 2010 squad's problem was spending too long together before and during the finals, citing the extended time in camp spent by the eventual runners-up the Netherlands.
"The Dutch team stayed together from May 10 right up until the end. They stayed together two months more or less. They got to the final. Every choice is good when you win, when you lose it's a disaster," he said.
Capello meanwhile acknowledged that his relationship with the England squad had brightened since the disappointments of 2010.
"I think the relationship between the players and me improved, because I understand some things," Capello said.
"But I also think the players understand me better. We have no problems when we stay together -- they understand what I ask them during training, during the game, everything."
