Is anyone really surprised at the failure of Estil Azin

Isn't the Chelsea boss doing the same thing by spending 50,000,000 pounds for Torres? After all, they are still big boys playing with big toys.

There is one big difference......
The Guy, ( Hedayati ), is no business man either !!!
This is a big reason,that making money in IRAN,is not based on Business knowledge,or hard work,or top management,etc.....
It is all, " Poole Ya moft " aquired through mafia, and connections,and curroption.....etc,
Money spent on European clubs are well studied and well researched...based on marketing plans, stattistics, development,future forcasts,etc,etc......
they may some times fail also, but it is not because they did not plan ....
.Hedayati, would not have made a penny by himself had he wanted to do so in Europe or America.

Is anyone really surprised at the failure of Estil Azin?

I was, to be honest. When I look at the players name and see their position in the table, I still scratch my head "how on earth is possible?" If this was in a league with decent infrastructure, I would understand that the team needs preparation, youth development, decent coaching, discipline,... but for god sake we talk about Iranian football which a coach changes his teams 3 times in one season. How much a player like Kia, Zandi, Karimi, or Shapourzadeh needs coaching to know how to play?

Yes, I can understand that they may not become a champion for some smooth tuning, but last in the table is another story.

I don't know how much capital Hedaiati has and how much he spent there. I heard that he was interested in buying for a club in EPL. So, he must have a lot of money then. If you ask me, that was a small price to pay for such a advertisement to be known as the god-father and RICH in Iran. The country is full of money and unknown billionaires. He used a smart way to satisfy his craving.

Closing Down Esteel Azin, right after the " Na-javanmardaneh " lost to perspolise reminds me of :
Acceptance of peace with IRAQ ,in IRAQ vs IRAN war.. by islamic republic, right after The American ship accidentaly shot down an Iranian passenger aircraft over Persian Gulf .
It is the same old , misdirecting deceptive Iranian style to cover up failiers.

It was not difficult for me at least to figure out that Hedayati is a poor manager in football management at least (Only God Know how on earth he became a successful businessman and rich !!)

All that points you mentioned , Nokhodi Jan , about football infra structure are very valid as time and again it has been proven that buying a bunch of expensive players is not really the ingredient for success.

Now I am convinced that Hedayati;s motive in getting involved is a bit more self serving and not entirely about his passion for football. OK , he perhaps has a bit of that love , but I feel his entry into the ownership and running of football club was was more political based than anything else.


In answer to his statement about the disbanding of SA due to unfairness of football in Iran and all that jazz, from a person like me who has been a fan and followed Iran's football from childhood ages, I sincerely say that the unfairness comes from you to start with because you have created a failure from day one and wasted a lot of efforts , time and money. football does not really need characters like you.

Full marks to you for making an effort , regardless of the motives , you obviously were seeking to succeed and create champion teams , but you failed. MR Hedayati , you failure and closing down of Steel Azin would not only be your personal loss which not many people will have sympathy with , the effect on others will be such a tragedy.

The league structure , the fans who have paid to watch your team , players whose career were in your hand and worst of all , other teams that spent all this money to play against you and win but suddenly could find themselves deprived of the points they deservedly won , if the league declares all SA matches as void. Who is going to financially and morally compensate these clubs? Hedayati should be held accountable by the letter of the law.
BUT , honestly...Good riddance, Hedayati . You are the rich version of Kafashian.

Every 5 years some rich fool comes along and "invests in Iranian" football.
Before Hedayati the last guy to try this was Shafiezadeh in Esteghlal Ahvaz. In the end his team was relegated and he left with his head down and no legacy.

Why do our fans and reporters think a man who only buys players with a history of attitude problems, who doesn't invest a cent in club infrastructure, that doesn't have a decent youth team or even their own field to practice on.
Someone who actually cares about football would know that football is a very long term investment.
Are these guys actually thinking about making money? Even in England the rich owners like Abrahamovic spends freely because he loves the team and wants them to win, not because he is expecting a return.
This Estil Azin team was one of the biggest jokes in Iranian football in the past 20 years.
Give me a private (or even government) team with its own field, youth teams, and real management and I'll support them any day over half the garbage we have in IPL (Persian Gulf Cup).
