I was surprised to read of his appointment at Forest - he seems like the kind of guy who really only succeeds with lower-league teams.
His biggest success has been with Notts County and Cheltenham Town.
It just comes across as a bit average when he's faced with better players - there is no doubting his motivational skills at lower level but Portsmouth seemed like a real let-down when you look at the players they have.
I can see him doing ok but I get the feeling that the real problems at Forest are more to do with the board.
