Karanka is good but getting Forest up will be the toughest thing he's ever faced, he'll need loads of time which is a very rare commodity these days.
Not at all, lots of the big teams come down with a squad full of players who they have to shift out in the summer, leavng them pretty much starting again.

Norwich, Sunderland (more than once), Leeds, Wolves, Forest, Villa, QPR, Man City - all sides that came down with the promise that they would bounce right back.

Indeed, West Brom and Newcastle are pretty much the only two sides who have managed to make their visit to our part of the world a temporary one.
