So... is it make or break for Coulson ?

Just in case the news escaped you,  Coulson's file was handed to the Crown Prosecution Service this week following his recent interview with the Police. And now it's all gone quiet...  I suppose we're in the state of waiting to see what the CPS decides...  But are there any clues as to exactly what's going to result from this ?  We know that Andy Coulson was interviewed, though we understand not under caution.  Around the same time, Sky News led the news about Coulson's Police interview..  and that was rather a shock in itself !  If anything, I think we can agree that Sky has very much ignored the Coulson story.
However, Ofcom had just begun to examine News International's bid for BSkyB - basically Murdoch's plan to increase his empire further !  Therefore, some of us considered it was probably a move for Sky to appear neutral in it's news reporting and at one point during the day Sky was reporting on Andy Coulson every 15 minutes !  This seemed utterly bizarre to those of us who'd been following this escapade since it's re-emergence earlier this year. 

Later this week, however, to add speculation to the earlier furore, a Judge insisted that Mulcaire should divulge who'd sent out the request that phone-hacking take place at the News of the World...   Andy Coulson has consistently denied any knowledge of phone-hacking at this newspaper let alone sending out the order !
But who knows ?  Maybe it won't be too long before we know...  after all, it's now only a matter of time...  I reckon it's make or break for Coulson any time soon !
