I think it was an understandable concern. I wonder, though, if he could have done a similar job with a different club in a similar position, or if it's the emotional connection with Liverpool that has made this possible?

I don't think he'd be anywhere near as good anywhere else. He knows the club and the Liverpool way better than anyone and is loved by everyone, he wouldn't have that in other clubs.
It's the same with Pep at Barca I reckon.

Not sure about the Guardiola comparison, as it's not been tested yet. Kenny won the league at Blackburn, so obviously it wasn't *just* the Liverpool connection that made him a great manager. But I was talking about NOW, rather than in the past.
It just feels like some kind of alchemy has happened - he's made the club great, and the club has made him great.
