Easy to say with hindsight, his chairman even told him it was too good an opportunity to turn down and ultimately he came for the money and as for working his socks off then that's probably true regarding clearing out the dead wood and reducing the wage bill, yes he did a sterling job and no one will ever argue that but when it came to that push and the time for real progress on the pitch he was left wanting, look at Burton when he went back, didn't he arrive back at Burton top with what was it 5 point gap to second and 2 games in hand, well he managed to throw all that away and and finish second and that was goal difference.

Nice bloke but clueless manager, would suit forest down to the ground, then after 6 months when the forest fans get on his back and want him out he can harp on about never should of left Burton
