Chris Sutton says Sean Dyche is a solid appointment by Nottingham Forest but feels Ange Postecoglou is best off out of the City Ground after the fans' treatment of the Australian.
Dyche was appointed as Postecoglou's successor after the Australian failed to win any of his eight games in charge.
Fans were unconvinced by the former Celtic and Spurs manager ever since it was announced he would succeed Nuno Espirito Santo who was sacked just several games into the season.
Dyche has now been handed the reins and got off to the perfect start as he oversaw victory over FC Porto in the Europa League on Thursday night.
He now faces a tough test in his first Premier League game in charge which is against Bournemouth this afternoon.
Predicting a 1-0 defeat, Sutton said: "Sean Dyche is a sensible appointment by Nottingham Forest but the way his predecessor Ange Postecoglou was treated by their fans makes me think he is better off out of there.
"Dyche is more of a Nuno Espirito Santo figure than an Ange in terms of how he will set his side up, but Forest's aim now is to stay in the Premier League and Dyche has already shown he can keep teams up.
"This is a tough start for him, though. Bournemouth should have beaten Crystal Palace last week but they are still third and are flying at the moment.
"The Cherries always create chances, especially at home, and I don't feel as if Forest will be able to hold out."
