What defines a "world class manager"?

Champions league qualification as an a absolute minimum

When Kenny becomes available as a manager again, will there be a big clamour by other clubs to try and appoint him?
No, exactly.

You can hardly include the word "exactly" when attempting to predict the future.

Is that how you would define a world class manager? A lot of job offers from other clubs?

Do you think he's doing a world class job then?

Steve Bruce gets loads of job offers.

Doesn't stop him being rubbish.

Trophies in the last 6 seasons: Kenny 1 - Wenger 0.

Exactly.

You state he isn't a world class manager. I'm intrigued to find out the criteria for meeting your definition.

As for doing a world class job, put it this way; 12 months ago you tell me:

"this time next year you will be in the same league position, but frustrated at being there. You will have guaranteed European football the season after, you will have won your first trophy in 6yrs & you will have knocked out the eventual league champions and runners up to reach the quarter final of the fa cup". I wouldn't care who the manager is, I'd say if thats the next 12 months for my club, keep him.

Kenny will really be judged in 12 months time.

I expect us to spend some more cash in the summer, and on the back of it, top 4 won't be the hope, but the expectation.

Of course, if we don't spend more cash in the summer , then nobody has any right to expect top 4.
