Looks like HR will be back in work asap..
Wouldn't be surprised if he was announced as the new manager before the end of the day.
Let's hope he wants some top price Spurs cast-offs.
I'd also imagine this is the final nail in Mark Hughes' Premiership management coffin. He shall now be damned to the lower leagues with Steve Bruce.

Mark Hughes has been sacked as manager of QPR - and Harry Redknapp has been appointed as his replacement.
Hughes's assistant manager Mark Bowen will take Rangers, winless and rock-bottom of the Barclays Premier League, to Old Trafford tomorrow with former Tottenham boss Redknapp in the stands.
Redknapp will take formal charge of the team on Sunday.
Hughes's position has been hanging in the balance all week after defeat to Southampton at Loftus Road, a match dubbed 'El Sackico'.
The former Manchester United striker had been preparing his team for the clash at Manchester United with the expectation that he would be on the touchline.
However, owner Tony Fernandes finally snapped this morning, showing Hughes, who had replaced, Neil Warnock the door after 10 months.
Fernandes gave an interview to US TV station Bloomberg yesterday and would not back Hughes.
Hughes has been walking a tightrope since QPR lost at Arsenal on October 27. Fernandes was set to sack him then but had a change of heart and has tried to support him.
They have not won all season but have an easier run of fixtures coming - and a new manager will be licking his lips at that prospect.

A DATE FOR HARRY'S DIARY...
Harry Redknapp will face his old club Tottenham for the first time as QPR manager on Monday, January 14 at 8pm.
WITH HARRY THERE'S HOPE
QPR are the only team out of 92 league clubs yet to win a match this season.
But Harry has performed miracles before.
When he took over from Juande Ramos at Tottenham the team had only two points and his only brief was to stop them slipping them into the Championship.
He managed to finish in eighth place that very season, and took Tottenham to the Champions League two years later.
Dawson to QPR is a certainty now. Wouldn't surprise me if Defoe ended up there too.
Me and a mate thought the same yesterday.wonder if Harry saying that he's giving serious thought to becoming manager of Ukraine accelerated Hughes's sacking at all.
its going to make the return fixture unbearable unfortunately. The whole footballing world willing on 'Arry to put one over on the man who stole his job (assuming he gets it)
