Shocked, even with how badly he had done I still couldn't imagine him getting the sack. I'm slightly disappointed that he didn't get the chance to carry on and drag his name further through the mud, at the same time, I am happy he leaves a complete failure and never made some sort of miraculous recovery (however unlikely that was, I still feared it was all too good to be true).
Should be the last of him we see in English football, although I don't think it's completely out of the question that he ends up at United at some point. Maybe even relatively soon.
