"Traktował jak pies", wydał miliony i wyleciał z hukiem. Mancini odchodzi w niesławie 14 maja 2013, 10:12 Mógł mieć każdego piłkarza, jakiego chciał. Rocznie na wzmocnienia dostawał średnio 100 mln euro, ale przez trzy i pół roku pracy w City Roberto Mancini wygrał niewiele. W poniedziałek wieczorem wyleciał z hukiem. (http://www.tvn24.pl)

Thanks. I knew that it meant something else therefore I didn't chose it.
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Jan 13, 2018:
@Dariusz: Yes, that would give the biggest bang for the buck.
Darius Saczuk Jan 13, 2018:
@Frank Each suggestion has its own flavor. I think "with a bang" can be used literally. One could modify it with LOUD, i.e. "with a loud bang".
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Jan 13, 2018:
@Piotr:
The one and only idiom is "to go out with a bang," which actually means to go out on top.
To finish or cease doing something in a spectacular, great, or exciting manner. He really went out with a bang, scoring a touchdown at the very last second of the game! The whole point of celebrating New Year's Eve is so the previous year can go out with a bang!

True, but it's always better to leave with dignity rather than in disgrace. Thanks Frank.
