NoW pays Benitez for inaccurate story

The News of the World has made a five-figure payment to Liverpool football manager Rafa Benitez and apologised on Sunday for running an inaccurate article. The paper claimed in February that Benitez had blamed the club's owners for ruining last season's title hopes.

But the story was based on an erroneous translation of an interview Benitez gave to a Spanish newspaper, El Mundo. The NoW agreed in the out-of-court settlement to Benitez's wish that the money goes to a Merseyside school for special needs children. (Via Liverpool Daily Post)
