The Rabbi says, go ask you mother-in-law to live with you. The man says, how is that going to help. The Rabbi says just do it. So the mother-in-law moves in and a week later the man goes to the Rabbi and says, it didn't improve things. Its worse now. The Rabbi says, go and ask the neighbor to move in with you. Just do it.

SO the neighbor moves in and after a week, the man goes back to the Rabbi and says, it is much worse now. We don't have any room to breath now. The rabbi says, go bring your cow inside the shack as well. Just do it. The the man brings the cow inside too. After a week he goes back to the Rabbi and say. That's it. I cannot take this anymore. I am going to kill myself. Then the Rabbi says, now go back and throw your mother-in-law, your neighbor and the cow out. The man goes home and evicts everyone.

When the Rabbi asks him how he feels, he says, "I am so happy, we have so much room now.
==================================

Is Skocic the ideal candidate?! No. Was he my first, second, or third choice?! No. But after the shit-show that is IFF, and after Wilmots and a few months with no coach, and after a few half-acceptable domestic coaches refused, he is the best we can do. Definitely better than no coach at all.

So, I am so happy with Skocic.

How low can we get? like seriously? do you think we even have a chance with this 3rd rated coach? against bahrain and iraq at home?

The two Iranian candidates screwed up the last time they were given the TM job. Who was your preferred choice for TM?

Not bad but I hope we can bring in Vicente del Bosque like Carlos Quriouz and better. Vicente del Bosque is a real professional coach and high-class and I am sure he will bring us suprise.

Even our mistake is we had to keep Carlos Quriouz with Team Melli I will never forget his time and great work. I wish Dragan succes with Iran but I am not sure he will do better than Wilmots have my words and he not so much experience like Carlos Qurioz did.

at World Cup 2018 everyone was surprised by the achievements of Iran

Shahab sometimes you say things i really dont get , losers turned down TM job and you talk about names like Del Bosque ? IFF doesnt have Money, IFF doesnt prepare friendlies, Irans next game is in 1-2 month and we dont know anything, we dont even have press conferences and you talk about Del Bosque.

Be happy with Dragan, we should even be the happiest on earth if Branko came, its Iran, its IFF , the best is even to forget iranian football and enjoy the legionairs

Skocic won the Croatian Cup with Rijeka, and the Slovenian Cup with Interblock. These two wins alone make him more accomplished, decorated and qualified than any Iranian coach.

You ppl talking about CQ are absolutely delusional. Many of you didn’t appreciate him enough while we had him and don’t realize he was a once in a lifetime coach for TM. Managers of that caliber just wont come to Iran for so many reasons. The unfortunate reality is starting to sink in for you guys.....

I'm just glad GN isn't there.

In my opinion GN would have been the worst candidate. I am in disbelief that he was considered.

This so true. People in general, everywhere, don’t appreciate what they have while they have them. Once gone, the emptiness comes, and we start to miss what we had. Its sadly human nature.
Hope we learn our lessons some time.
