I'm not convinced he will go. When he looks at it after he has got over the disappointment has died down, and his pride has recovered from the bashing it has taken, he will hopefully see this as a good thing.
He has worked for Smith before as assistant, so hopefully their relationship is already sound, and the club could have been ruthless and sacked him.
Hopefully he will realise he has lots to learn, and he will be working for one of the best around.
I do feel for him slightly, as he has had to go through this learning curve in public, in a very demanding position, but it is just one of those things. I'm sure nobody thought things would be as bad as they have turned out, and the club had to act.
