Liverpool connections aside he’s irrelevant as a manager right now. He’s done nothing recently except hip divisions with Newcastle and then spectacularly park the bus without a hint of entertaining football and then sod of to China where he failed by all accounts as well. I couldn’t even tell you why or if he really did fail in China because that’s how irrelevant that league is.
Ancelotti may have been past his prime but he came from a champions league club, Napoli, Benitez comes from obscurity.
Rather have a manager who’s won nothing but is on the up. Ffs I’d rather have Potter than him!
