No, you have to referee
permanently with an iron fist. We have done this dozens of times: start the season with a blitz of penalties for a certain offence, only for fans to moan that the game is being ruined and giving up after a month.
Also, if you're having a crackdown, coaches should be able to receive fines/bans for repetitive spoiling by their teams.
