Leicester City have sacked manager Craig Shakespeare just four months after he took up the role on a permanent basis.

Lying in the relegation zone, the club have not won in six league games.

The dismissed 53-year-old signed a three-year contract in June, thirteen months after they won the league with his former boss, Claudio Ranieri, in charge.

But as he too now exits, this is a selection of the best Craig Shakespeare sacked jokes:

Shakespeare crying in to his full English

I was gutted when Shakespeare got axed. I said to him, "Now is the winter of Leicester's discontent."
"It's autumn," he replied.
Nitpicking.

Expect Craig Shakespeare's statement to say "Will I bounce back? My Grandad fought in WW2, came home and mowed the lawn, I'll cope."

That bloke at Nantes looks to be doing a decent job. Maybe they can pry him away.

Good friends, sweet friends, let me not stir you up
To such a sudden flood of mutiny.
They that have done this deed are honorable.

Leicester sacking Shakespeare disgusts me, proves how the world today doesn’t appreciate fine literature. Classless.

Craig Shakespeare looked like a character with loads of bad luck on Coronation Street anyway
