Never understood the hatred for Benítez at Chelsea
When at Liverpool he slagged off Chelsea supporters. Imagine the manager of another club slagging off Liverpool supporters.
When he came to Chelsea he was offered the opportunity to excuse or apologise for his statements. He declined. He then slagged off Chelsea supporters while Chelsea manager.
His management approach at Chelsea revolved solely around Torres. He was happy to sideline players like Lampard and Terry.
His period at Chelsea was almost certainly the most miserable of all of my years supporting the club. There was a wider gulf between the club and supporters than even the darkest days of the Mears’ regime.

Never understood the hatred for Benítez at Chelsea, yeah his Liverpool team put the boot into you guys during his time there, but I don’t think it’s comparable to George (spits) Graham coming to spurs.
He’s a good/great manager who would have improved you in the short and long term given the backing.
But you got rid back then and now have to find someone to replace Conte. No chance of him coming back when Conte gets out the door?
Also genuine question who is available or desirable that Chelsea are interested in for the job? I have my doubts about luis Enrique, from his time at Roma. Is he still the front runner?
