Is , ESTIL AZIN, An Islamic Republic Project ?

[zzgloo]

No team in IRAN makes money !
The whole league is a " Propaganda machine "
All teams are always behind on payments.
Non payments to players...non payments to coaches.
Some teams do not have money to pay for flight to host cities,and go by bus.
majority of teams do not have any fields to practice.
Forign players are paid way too much,and they are in far lower quality than forign players of Arab leagues.
Even perspolise often is behind player payments.
.................................................. .................................................. .
The fact that Esteel Azin, is persuing to come to USA,indicates thier desire to come up with some revenue....as otherwise...there are no revenue...
.................................................. .................................................. ...
The assertion that Esteel Azin investors, spend millions for nothing ,is not acceptable to any sound mind.

Ha aha ha ha.

An Islamic Republic project?

Football clubs are not profitable on the whole for owners, fact. Only a few teams make any profit, and most teams acquire huge debts.

Listen, throughout the world, rich capitalists, industrialists, oligarch's and power brokers are acquiring football teams.

From Ukraine (Shaktar Donestk), UAE (all the clubs pretty much), Azerbaijan, (FC Qabala), Uzbekistan (Pakhtakor and Bunydkor), Europe (Man Utd, Liverpool, Man City, West Ham, Chelsea, Aston Villa), Russia (Spartak Moscow),Italy (Both Milan clubs) are just some prominent examples.

This is not an 'Islamic Republic project', this is capitalism and globalisation at work.

Quite honestly all this money spent on Steel Azin is peanuts compared to most other professional leagues around the world. what kind of money are we talking about here? $5-10 million? For such huge businessman as Hedayati, such amounts do not really count as large as they sound to us.

I do not agree with this notion that Steel Azin is backed by IR, it's a private club which is led by a smart businessman, and trust me he knows what he's doing!

we dont have any smart businessman, you have to be connected. If you're not connected, ti pa mizanan dare kewnet, zerti poolato migiran.

For me its quite obvious, Hedayati is connected, very well.

Well, it's the private money of an investor, and I guess making profit is not his target there. Would be intersting to find out, how big Steel Azin's yearly budget is. And also the budgets of the other IPL teams. Normally they are publicly known in European leagues.

Anyone having infos on IPL budgets?

The league teams in IRAN :

1-have almost no revenue from marketings....( T-shirts are mostly dedicated to islamic republic slogans and propaganda......no in very few cases...sponsers as poor as " MOBL E IRAN ".......how much does a furniture company has to spend ? )

2-The stedium ticket prices,are way too low to count....and even then....majority goes to stredium itself and IFF,and goverment....

3-There are no broadcasting revenue !

........................
The expenses are far more than ( 5 to 10 Million )..........even perspolise can not effort such expenses......,to no return !!
There several players,who make above $500.00 year..some even more....
.......................
What ever the expenses.....no other team can afford it.....and there is got to be a reason !

I don't think so. I think any big private investor has good chances to develop a successful team, as the government led teams are very inefficiently managed.

If the government would invest money in our football, I guess they would be clever enough to invest it into some high profile friendlies for TM and possibly a big name coach. For IRI success of the IRI national football team would be most interesting - in case they had interest in football at all.
