Speaking after a recent speech, Bill Keller assessed new rival Rupert Murdoch as a combative and unpredictable tabloid guy.

As reported by The Guardian, Mr. Keller said:

I don't really know what he is going to do ... I don't know Rupert Murdoch, he is a combative 76-year-old newspaper guy with a tabloid soul and more money than God.

With those resources at this stage it looks like he will do whatever the hell he wants to do. I don't think he is going to be constrained by some strategic planning consultant telling him what he can do. That makes him very hard to predict.
