The Dane was relieved of his duties on Tuesday following a run of six defeats from their past eight games and just one win.
"I'm really surprised - I didn't see it coming because like most fans I thought Johannes was in for a bit of a long haul and this season was one of bedding-in and it was part of the long-term strategy of going away from signing experienced players and looking at younger ones," Sutton told BBC Radio Norfolk.
