Quote from: "barrysleftfoot"Call me a cynic if you like, but i get the impression that Benitez contribution was more to pacify the Liverpool fans, and have a dig at the owners, whereas Giggs, and Quinns', regardless of how it was received, was more of a socially aware contribution.Not so.Rafa expressley asked them to keep schtum about the donation, but the Justice people were determined that everybody should know about his gesture.He's gone way up in my estimation.

He had his photo taken with the entire committee whilst handing over the money. If he wanted it kept schtum he would have asked his solicitor to send a cheque. I find it a little ironic that after handing over the money, he is left with 96% of his severence pay from Liverpool. There's nothing wrong with his gesture but I don't buy the saintly angle.
