Michael O'Neill was sacked on Thursday after nearly three years in charge

Stoke dismissed Michael O'Neill on Thursday after increasing pressure from the fans in recent weeks.

Reaction from Stoke fans is that they're happy with the decision, but the timing is interesting with the transfer window still open.

It's expected that the Potters will have a new manager already lined up with such a short space of time before the window shuts.

Stoke now 10/1 to get promoted this year and 40/1 to win the league

Stoke are now 10/1 to get promoted this year from the 6/1 that they were at the start of the season.

The Potters are in 21st spot in the Championship with just 1 win in the first 5 games so have a big turnaround to go up.

Luckily for whoever the new manager is though it's still early doors and the signing of Liam Delap last week may be massive in the scheme of things.
