Among the supporters of Universidad de Chile, he is controversially remembered for wasting his investment in a meccano stadium that would be the team's complex.[4] Similarly, there are different authors that point to the same thing, like Daniel Matamala and Carlos González Lucay. On the other hand, Molina is also remembered for having left a deficit of more than $100 million.[5]
