"I have met him a few times. He was a nice fella but I just don't think, for Liverpool, he's got that aura about him. Maybe this is because you have just come off the back of Jurgen Klopp and it's going to be difficult for anyone to have that, but I just don't think there's that aura about him."
"The only thing we have in common, Jurgen and me, is that we both won the league and that's not too bad, is it? I think the more a manager wins, the more aura he has. I don't know if you agree with Wayne Rooney, by the way, but if this would be the general opinion then I think people would probably tell you last season I had more aura than this season."
Wayne Rooney questioned Arne Slot's suitability for Liverpool, saying Slot lacks the 'aura' needed for the club and suggesting failure to qualify for the Champions League could cost him his job. Slot pointed to last season's Premier League title, arguing that winning brings aura and that both he and Jurgen Klopp share league-winning credentials. Liverpool sit sixth and face Nottingham Forest on Sunday, having lost 3-0 to Forest earlier this season under Sean Dyche. Forest have since appointed Vitor Pereira as their fourth head coach of the season, and Dyche's strained relationship with players was cited as a key factor in his dismissal.
