In phenyl the positive charge acquired is on a sp2 carbon which is electro negative and thus unstable
Explanation:
You may also say that it is stable by resonance and delocalisatuon of the positive charge over the benzene ring but the positive charge is present on an sp2 carbon only so it is not stable.
