CQ press conference

[rugs]

What he is saying makes complete sense. Again, only if you have ever lived and worked in Iran will you completely understand what he is saying and know all the garbage he has to go through.

I bet there are thousands of people in Iran who wish they could say the same thing about their current employment, but fear losing their job or be imprisoned.

He has frustrations with how things are handled and is taking them to the media.

Good for him for exposing our lack of minimum management standards (or in non-polite terms, corruption). In Iran, the trend is, once you get to a high position, milk it for as much as you can. One only needs to look at our football to see this.

People who criticize CQ for speaking out like this act as if Iran is a bastion of perfect management and we have no problems in that area and CQ is being picky.

My suggestion to anyone who doubts how screwed up Iran is, is to go and try to accomplish any simple thing with any gov't agency, like getting a driver's license, and report back on their experience. Only then will they realize how f'd up everything is.

I hope CQ continues to call everyone out for the BS.

This whole fiasco has made me like CQ less... Nigga loves his monay too much, as if he isn't getting paid over 1mill a year.

I don't think there's a confusion. What he is saying, almost directly, is that the promises IFF has made are not going to be fulfilled. He doesn't want to stay but since his "friendly" resignation (meaning no penalties) is not accepted he has to stay. Under contract means that if he resigs he has to pay a 3 month salary back to IFF (which I read is close to 640,000 dollars). So IFF won't do what he has proposed for TM's improvement, but won't accept that he just leaves without paying a penalty, so he has to stay.. There

Down with the Iranian media. Nothing reliable ever comes out of them.

[Shah Abbas]

Genius move by Kafashian.

Publicly supporting CQ, getting people to assume IFF actually wants CQ while in private meetings making it hard for CQ to stay.
Then CQ will leave Iran and people will say the IFF wanted him to stay but CQ refused...

Khabar Varzeshi just posted CQ's words on instagram.

He also said: "chareyi jooz mandan nadaram." (i have no other choice but to stay)

I'm getting enough of this dalghak bazi. I'm waiting to see who's on the sideline June 16th...

[Bessos]

I think the conclusion that can be taken from this mess is the following:

CQ will stay but he wants to use 100% of Iran's capacity in order to reach the world cup, and no BS.
And he can only do this by pressuring IFF so they do the things he needs (proper fascilities / preparations / etc)

[Bi-honar]

At the end he said "it's time to unite."

That doesn't sound too bad either

No, it sounds pretty good actually and I think the whole interview would have been a lot more positive and less confusing, if he just went with that theme, that I like to stay, I'm under contract to stay but there are a lot of issues that need to be resolved and we all need to be united and work together to resolve them.

That would have been a clear message that he's committed to TM despite whatever management and financial problems exist in IFF. And ultimately, that's the decision he has to make and I thought he made during the last meeting.

Neither of those problems are going to be solved overnight, so the fans need a clear answer on whether he sees the possibility that these problems can be worked out gradually and h would be happy to continue leading TM, or not. A simple yes or no would do.
