      Rafa gets out of court settlement from NOTW

      Rupert Murdoch pays out to Rafa Benitez

      RAFA Benitez has reached an out-of-court settlement with a Sunday newspaper after an article about him earlier this year.

      On February 10 the News of the World claimed the Liverpool boss had blamed the club's owners for ruining last season's title hopes.

      Rupert Murdoch's paper has now admitted the article was based on an interview Benitez had given to Spanish newspaper El Mundo, which they then translated inaccurately.

      Benitez had launched legal action against the News of the World but the matter has now been settled out of court, with the newspaper printing an apology and making a five-figure payment to a Merseyside school for children with special needs at the request of the Reds boss

      Rafa is a F***ing legend. The fact that he gave the money from NOTW to a Liverpool school will just rub salt in their wound too.

      I'm proud to call him our manager. Hope he never leaves us.

      Legend. Gotta love him.

      I take it Rob Beasley is in the doghouse at the news of the screws!

      Little lesson learned eh weasel, never mess with Rafa.

      Our humble boss becomes an even bigger legend by every passing day. I love him

      God bless the man, what a top gentleman and just to piss him off without any words, he donates it to a Liverpool school. What a legend.

      In one move he's drawn a line in the sand for all the c**ts from the gutter press saying don't tempt me or I'll sue

      He then goes and gives the money to a charity which is a very honarable thing to do and also makes the NOTW look sillier than it already is

      Rafa is a truly great human being. An inspiration to us all and it will be a sad day when he leaves this club..
