Fair play.

He's confirmed as the new Inter coach/manager or whatever.

Credit where credit is due.  

£1000 for each of the 96 who died at Hillsborough is a fitting gesture (and when you consider his pay-off, let alone what he's earned in salary, a gesture is what it is) and does the man a lot of credit.

I wonder how much Hicks and Gillett will donate when they eventually sell the club?

it won't be surprising if it's zilch.

They don't have that attachment to the club, unlike Benitez.

rafa donates 96k to charity

Just wanted to raise the point of rafa giving £96,000 to the Hillsbourgh charity.
I know he's had a lot of bad press lately but what a good gesture to show his respect for the
 club and fans of liverpool

Rafa is great, he's done a great job at Liverpool. Shame he's not still there to make them even worse.

Good on him, I've seen him involved with other charity fundraisers over the years.

Many footballers/managers do a lot for charity and it goes unnoticed.

Strange amount, £96,000?  Why not a round £100k - tax reasons?

£1000 for each person who lost their life, perhaps?

Fair play to him. Never held him in particularly high esteem, ( not that he would have lost any sleep over that ), but a grand gesture all the same

Not saying it wasn't a nice gesture, but how is it charity? people die, you move on. If there's another reason for it being a charity then I do opologise.
