How is ex-Nottingham Forest manager Dougie Freedman getting on at the moment?

Dougie Freedman had an extensive playing career that saw him start at Barnet, move to Crystal Palace, Wolves, Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace again and after a short loan spell at Leeds United, finish his career at Southend.
