Ex-Liverpool FC manager Rafa Benitez donates £96,000 to Hillsborough Family Support G

Good of him.

 

No doubt the usual suspects on here will pipe up soon enough, but as hated as he is on here by many nobody can question his love for the city and the club. You'd never be able to say that about the fella he was sacked to be replaced by.

Hated? Excuse the naivete, if that's what it is, but how could any genuine red hate Rafa Benitez.This is nonsense and I don't believe it to be the case.

Paranoia is running wild I'd say.

MAN YOUR STATIONS

G Richards has questioned his motive behind it coming out in the press and then agreed with you all that its standard that the charity publish it to raise their profile.

You are all arguing with yourselves saying everyone has shithouse aids who slags him off. Look at the posts since the article was put on yesterday. No-one has slagged him off whatsoever. Just read the posts and fucking calm down.

 

Anyone who donates to charity is a decent person , no-one can deny Rafa Benitez isn't a decent human being.

 

If people didn't like him as a manager we could all argue until the cows came home but that's for a different thread altogether.

 

Ha,ha I was wondering this also. It's like pitchforks and flaming torches at the ready with nothing to stick them into.

You only joined this forum after he left. You wouldn't have seen the personal abuse he often took on here.

Could you give any examples as I find that very difficult to believe, in all honesty?

I don't doubt for one minute he got some stick over the years, for some of his decisions.

That said no one can justifiably lay claim to hate him if they consider themselves genuine reds.

Maybe we should knock it on the head now.

Rafa is a great manager and a great man. Nothing more needs to be said. He can do what he likes with his money. He chose to make a donation to a great cause. Thanks Rafa! For everything.

Get your lot to observe Matthew 6:1, then come back and worry about Rafa.

Who gives a fuck how a few mongs interpret his actions. Rafa is a good man. Any donation given should be accepted with kind thanks, not with sceptical worries about how things might look. I know that's not your view but I'm just putting it out there.

 

The only thing that's surprised me, is that Houllier hasn't claimed it was the money that Rafa inherited from him.

 

You got the quote that was in the back of my mind spot on, and you are right, there are people in the church who can be 'showy' rather than getting on with it behind the scenes, so to speak.

 

Anyway, there's nothing to add about Rafa here. I fully accept this wasn't done for PR reasons, and that Rafa is a top, genuine bloke. I also understand how HSFG can benefit from an increase in profile due to the link with Rafa, so it's all for the good.

 

Apologies if any offence was caused to anyone, as I really didn't have an axe to grind with Rafa or anything like that.
