Rafa and Montse Benitez' Charity Work

I know rafa has his heart in the right place he has fallen in love with the area. Sure he has made mistakes. But think he deserves another chance with the reds,somtime in the future. After all he won us the champions league,in the greatest comeback of all time.

Dave Usher who runs TLW is sound as a pound in my view. Not too keen on his forum (too many internet gangsters) but always liked Dave....top bloke in my opinion.

Got two tickets for the Gala dinner F**k OFF!!!!!

Former Liverpool FC manager Rafael Benitez to launch his own website

Sep 6 2011

FORMER Liverpool FC boss Rafa Benitez will this week launch his official website in order to help promote the charity Foundation run by his wife.

The website, www.rafabenitez.com, will be opened tomorrow and is designed to raise awareness of the Montse Benitez Foundation, which itself launches at the end of the month.

Benitez, who spent six years as manager at Anfield before his departure in June 2010, recently announced plans to hold a Gala Dinner at Liverpool’s BT Convention centre next month, with a fans’ Q&A session at the Empire Theatre to follow.

The content of Benitez’s website will provide a vehicle for communication with fans by giving details of his biography, career and records achieved at all of the clubs he has managed, as well as giving up to date information on his interviews and thoughts on football.

Via his blog he will be writing in-depth technical articles with his thoughts on current trends or matters of interest in football.

Ultimately, the website will keep the public informed of events and activities of Montse Benitez’s Foundation, in order to raise awareness and money for local and national charities.

The website will be launched on Wednesday in Paris in conjunction with Eurosport, who will also announce Rafa’s new role as an expert commentator on world football with their programme Eurogoals.

Benitez will be participating in a TV programme debating football issues alongside Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who is also contributing to Eurosport’s football analysis.

Benitez said: “I have always been keen to communicate with fans, especially local fans as my family have become part of the community.”

After the website launch, he will helping Montse officially launch the Foundation on September 29, before hosting a Gala Dinner at the Convention Centre on October 15.

At the dinner, there will be a chance for attendees to hear Rafa talk in detail about his career and thoughts on football. There will also be raffles for autographed items from the world’s most successful players in football, tennis and golf.

The following day, October 16, Rafa will be holding an Audience with fans in a question and answer session at the Empire.

All proceeds from both events will go straight to the Foundation.

Benitez added: “The launch of Montse’s Foundation is the prime reason for all these events, and it is hoped that the proceeds will enable the Foundation to get off to a fine start.”

Rafa needs to get himself back into management as soon as as possible now I understand he's pining for his ex bird and we've all been there and it hurts, but the only way to get over your ex bird is to move on to the next one, think the relstionship with Inter came too quickly for him as he was still very much in love with his ex bird and couldn't focus on his current relationship, but if he jumps back on the train and starts to make a success of himself again, his ex bird may keep an eye on him and start to consider a reconciliation at the end of our current relationship.

I agree mate.

Would love that train to take him to none other then Madrid once Jose fails again in spectacular fashion  and I would hope he conquers all before him to rub sh*t in everyone's face.

The Liverpool way is a terrible website and the main reason it's terrible is because it's owned by One Dave usher . The Dave usher who's only ambition in life was to get rid of Rafa Benitez because Rafa benitez marginalized ushers and the liverpool ways great friend Chris f***in bascombe . Remember Rafa's quote "  Everbody know's there's  two papers on Merseyside that can't be trusted" and bascombe worked for one of them . Usher and his cronies spread vicious unfounded rumours about Rafa and lead a campaign that was ultimately successful . A campaign which ended with us with an owl faced c**t of a manager going nowhere with a CEO doing all the signing trying to play champ manager with this club . That is what you have to thank Dave friggin usher and the Liverpool way for ,they are no better than kraptalk for fucks sake .

Thread cleansed.

Anyone been on his site yet?

Just been reading his comments on the Champions League and realised I was listening to him rather than reading, if that makes sense.

Anyway, it's worth checking out, though there's not much content yet.

Interesting bit on his comparison between Spanish and English football.
One for the stat nerds.

You read Xavi Valero's piece on there:

Champions League at Anfield

We all have played on many football pitches in our lives. Neighbourhood football pitches, muddy pitches, pitches we only dreamt about, pitches which took us a step forward, pitches to forget and pitches of hope and many more….Stadiums full of history and stories, filled with failures and legends, which have moulded our careers and have propelled us forward, sometimes without direction. Football offers no truce. It devours and forgets only to reinvent itself and start again.

Amidst this whirlpool, amongst so many people, reaching Anfield is to reach one of the possible ends of the road. I say this because I feel fortunate to have been one of the chosen ones. One of those who have stepped on the pitch at Anfield, one who has lived Anfield, one who has experienced in person that football has a dimension greater than the banality that current times offer us. One that has been able to see that Albert Camus was right in saying that stadiums are a melting pot of culture and that in them, like in no other place, we can learn about human nature. Just looking round Anfield you can appreciate the dignity of its people, you can understand the past of a city hit by a history of hardship and realise that football can fill a wounded city with pride and hope.

Amongst so many memories, the Champions League. In no other European stadium have I seen fans believe so much in their team as at Anfield. Real Madrid, Inter Milan, the impossible game against Arsenal….and so many more to remember how ‘the reds’ were capable of putting together, on the streets of Anfield Road, the old essential values of football with the order, rigor, efficiency and the beauty of the game. Giving meaning to the initial roar at the first whistle at Anfield, to the songs full of belief and memories sung by The Kop or showing the possible paths of victory in the winter fog of San Siro, perhaps this is the secret and meaning of all tactics.

During three seasons at the club, my memories of Champions League nights go back to the certainty I saw in the faces of the players in the pre match talks in the hotels in Milan and Madrid, a few hours before playing decisive games which would end up contributing to the Club’s great history. My memories also turn to Reina, with silences full of respect before facing Anfield, realising that the appointment was with the history of a club, a city and its people who have turned the path to Anfield Road into a path of hope and belief.

Beautiful piece that by Valero

Beautiful piece that by Valero

Indeed it is, brought me to tears, the memories.

Not one word of valero is wrong,it is a shame some really dont appreciate anfield in difficlut times that we ahve faced.

Excellent article they had us the most feared team in Europe

"We've seen things they'll never see"

LFC 2005-2009

That's all that matters boys and girls, your memories and whether or not you had a good ride along the way. Athens debacle aside, it was a pretty good time to watch the Reds.

Yes we should have won in Athens but I wouldn't have swopped a routine win there for the emotional roller coaster that was Istanbul. Never let anyone kid you otherwise, if you only went to one of those knock-out European Cup games at Anfield under Benitez you've seen more atmosphere in a ground than any other club in this land can even pretend to match.

Ranked number 1 in Europe for two years.

"Siempre es Posible!" as the banner says.

 Isn't this the "charity work" thread? They have done some excellent work and long may it continue.

Indeed it is mate and Lord and Lady Benitez of Anfield has a fine ring to it.
