in terms of management, he's been out of the game a long time - hardly a total success post Blackburn.
when he 'inherited' liverpool - they were in somewhat of a better shape than they are now, in terms of ethos, standing in the game, confidence, the club was a an efficient winning machine in those day
media scrutiny has gone up hugely since his blackburn days, he didn't seem that fond of it last time he was managing, i don't suppose we have any idea yet as to what extent the new owners will back him in the transfer market or if they do whether the targets he fancies would want to go to liverpool.
time will tell - i think he'll find it very very tough.
Your right he's not done anything since coming 2nd with Newcastle but he success as a player and his 4 titles plus 2 FA Cups as manager is up there with the best.
He wanted the job before Roy came in because he felt he could do a better job then the names Purslow had on the list, its what Kenny wants he's ready for it 1989 really messed him up but this is his time again.
