What you don't know about David Moyes.

Some of us were surprise at the choice of David Moyes as Alex Ferguson successor.I'm not a fan of Manchester united because of the red devils that is part of their name rather Chelsea is my club.I had... to do some background check up on David Moyes and made some amazing discoveries that will make your day;

1)Early Start.
Look at the table bellow showing his football career before he became a coach.

He became a coach at Preston, working his way up to assistant manager before eventually taking over as manager in 1998, his first managerial position.

Nothing distinguish a man like knowing what you are called to do,starting early and generating result in that field consistently.

2)Staying in Power:a lot of people know how to start but cannot stay on the same thing for a long time.He's the second longest serving coach in the premiership;11years at Everton.Which was the same quality that was seen in ferguson when he was to be hired in 1986.Sir Bobby Charlton, a director who was instrumental in bringing Ferguson to United in 1986, said: "We have secured a man who is committed to the long term and will build teams for the future as well as now. Stability breeds success."

3)He didn't win any Title but he's most preferred of all those who have won all the titles in the world.Skills without faithfulness is an Army General at the battle front without bullet proof. Favor has no respect for skill the same way bullet has no respect for an Army General in the battle field. Faithfulness is a shield.The only thing affecting some people in life is their inability to be faithful in a place.They jump from pillar to post,changing mentors every day,changing job every day and changing girl friend and boy friend every day.Put order in your life.Force yourself to be faithful to an authority for years without changing such institution.Paul said;"This gospel commit to faithful and able men".;faithfulness comes before "ableness".

4)Integrity and Strong Work ethics;
Ferguson said: "When we discussed the candidates that we felt had the right attributes we unanimously agreed on David Moyes. David is a man of great integrity with a strong work ethic. I've admired his work for a long time and approached him as far back as 1998 to discuss the position of assistant manager here. He was a young man then at the start of his career and has since gone on to do a magnificent job at Everton. There is no question he has all the qualities we expect of a manager at this club."

5)He is a good Mentor: one of his star players, his old protege Wayne Rooney. The striker, who came through the ranks under Moyes at Everton.
No man is successful until you see his seed succeed better than him.In this generation where success is rated by fat account and big cars,I'm glad that Manchester United rated David Moyes because of the quality of protege he produce instead of titles won.How many people are in school because of you?How many people ate food today because of you?How many poor children in orphanages say words of prayer for you because of your impact.How many uprising youth will genuinely point at you and say coachy?We are all running to make money and forget that you can never make enough of it.Just kindly sow to others and you will reap it forever.

Bishop onces asked his protege if he knew why he created time to mentor him and his protege said no.This was his reasons; "a football star that does not retire to become a coach will soon pay to enter the same stadium others use to pay to watch him play.But if he retire to become a coach when the reigning star scores,he will point at him and say; Coachy,that way he will never loose relevance.
Practical example of this quote is;(Good example) David moyes and (Bad Example)Rashidi Yekini(last week was his 1year remembrance.May his soul rest in peace) No one can live forever but our deeds become flesh that keep our names in history forever.

I will like at this point to request for individuals and cooperate organisations who would like to volunteer to "Mentor An Orphan" in the two edition we have this year to send me an email requesting such.akintayostephen@yahoo.com
