Northern Ireland fans appear united in their views on Michael O'Neill after the 53-year-old was sacked by Stoke City.
O'Neill has paid the price for a poor start to the new season, with Stoke sitting fourth from bottom in the Championship after picking up just four points from a possible 15.
It brings the curtain down on a two-and-a-half-year spell at the bet365 stadium.

O'Neill was appointed Stoke boss in November 2019 after being headhunted following his heroics with Northern Ireland.
During his eight years as international manager he led Northern Ireland to the 2016 Euro finals, the country's first major tournament since Mexico '86. He also narrowly missed out on qualification for the 2018 World Cup, only to lose out in a controversial play-off defeat to Switzerland.
Northern Ireland also reached the play-off for the 2020 Euros, but Covid delays meant O'Neill was away before the semi-final against Bosnia and Herzegovina and final defeat to Slovakia.
The former Shamrock Rovers boss is still held in high regard by the Green and White Army, many of whom have become disillusioned by Ian Baraclough's lacklustre start at the helm.
And after news broke of O'Neill's Stoke exit, many have been calling for their former manager to return.
One fan said on Facebook: "Come back home, Barra on way out."
Another added: "Bring him home now!"
Gareth said: "Get him back home."
Brian added: "Get him back to the GAWA."
Another fan said on Twitter: "Get him in and get Baraclough out."
And there was one supporter who suggested O'Neill as a replacement for Republic of Ireland boss Stephen Kenny.
O'Neill could one day return to the international fold. He has already voiced his desire to have an influence in some capacity - but it might not be as manager.
He said back in 2020: "I do like the idea of being able to influence the game from a different type of role than being a manager.
"To have an influence on the game, and the game in Northern Ireland in particular. Down the line, I would like to think maybe one day there will be an opportunity to be involved in some capacity with the IFA again."
