What is your approval rating of CQ (before Chile/Sweden Friendlies)

[arasradio]

To what extent this fame and fan support represent his actual technical and tactical

NUMBERS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES BUT....

So far 44 votes are casted.

33 votes belong to the camp that approve him. That means 75% APPROVAL

7 votes belong to the camp that disapprove him. That means 16% DISAPPROVE ONLY

4 votes belong to the camp that are neutral . That means 9% IN THE MIDDLE

I've never seen this much support for anyone in our country years after years; polls after polls and yet wonder if this is normal or it is just because we have been isolated, embargoed, bashed, abused, discriminated and bashed in an extent that any gesture from CQ FROM his feast showing gesture in qualifying matches to bullying Williams, seems heroic actions in Defence of our nation; some kind of a LPS (Lost Pride Syndrome) and therefore he collects so much popularity despite his somewhat a over average transcript with Iranian national team?!! To what extent this fame and fan support represent his actual technical and tactical abilities ?

What is your approval rating of CQ (before Chile/Sweden Friendlies)

BTW, this poll is running until tomorrow morning, but as it stands I guess we've busted the heavily circulated myth that 88% of TM fans fully approve of CQ.

You can obviously interpret the results in many different ways, but so far the majority of the fans (at least here) haven't given CQ a 100% approval rating with almost 1 in 4 fans not approving of him at all.

It will be interesting to see if or how the approval ratings change after the Chile and Sweden friendlies.

A coach can be judged on 2 friendly games?

Talking about being harsh. CQ worked for TM 4 years, the results of two friendlies do not change the fact that he achieved good things and has a large majority approving TM fans.

[Bi-honar]

You do know that people don't have to believe 100% in everything that CQ does to fall into that 88% category. right ?

REALLY?! I'll be dammed if 90% of the people who fully support CQ, haven't been arguing the exact opposite of that until now!

The smallest criticism of CQ has been called CQ bashing, armchair managing, yada yada yada, but we've apparently been on the same side of the argument and in the 88% the whole time!

yes, clearly the sample size you used is a reflection of the entire football fan population in Iran and the ROW. Now that's as scientific as it gets. If that's how you "bust" theories, then you should stay as far as possible from the scientific world, and stick to your day job in the sales world.

Relax buddy. Nobody made the claim this is a scientific poll or is an accurate sample size of all TM fans! If anything, you're the one who's treating a 90 phone-in text poll as scientific and have been throwing it around in discussions to make a point!

It kinda reminds me of the polls we see on your favorite station, FOX News

Did I say FOX News is my favorite station?! You're the one who seems to be watching them all the time and are familiar with their polls!

You open a poll, have the negative points on the top

Wow, talk about being overly sensitive. On the next poll after the two friendlies, I'll list them backward for you.

[Iran007]

hate to say it...but you guys do realize that adding the options 4 and 5 gives CQ over a 70% approval rating....
But I am sure this too will be labeled as PARTY BAZI and BARNAME 90 PROPAGANDA by our uneducated and ignorant (and ZEERAK) Los Angeles based TV stations...
I cant believe that some people talk about democracy in Iran, but when 88% of people text their approval to 90 show regarding CQ, they call it PROPAGANDA and PARTEE BAZI.
How about the thousands of people that showed up to the Airport after the Iraq loss? Were those PARTEE bazee too?

A coach can be judged on 2 friendly games?

I personally wouldn't judge him on these two friendlies alone, but results can shift opinions depending on which way they go.

By comparing the results of the polls before and after the two games, we'll see how true that holds (at least here on PFDC).

I suspect one win in two games would increase his approval rating as would a tie and a soft loss. Two soft losses would probably not make much of a difference whereas two heavy losses may lead to lower ratings. We'll have to wait and see.

It is great that he has discipline but you have to be able to adapt to your environment rapidly and he is not doing it.

He didn't come to Iran to adapt to our environment, he came to adapt our football with the world class environment.

[AminGP]

but as it stands I guess we've busted the heavily circulated myth that 88% of TM fans fully approve of CQ.

I voted 4 but I still fully support CQ. People who voted 4 & 5 fall into the 88% category.

[Iran007]

He didn't come to Iran to adapt to our environment, he came to adapt our football with the world class environment.

well said.
Yet another WRONG and erronious iranian old ladies tale.
YOU MUST ADAPT TO YOUR ENVIRONMENT....
not at all....
You stand by your principles. Only Iranians and Arabs will ADAPT whenever it fits their agenda and it is beneficial to them and hence the condition those two nations are in.
Coming to a unorganized, corrupt, uninfrastructed, DOZD BAZAR like Iran and adapting to their wrong ways would be the same thing as BECOMING one of them. I dont thik CQ or anyone with any principle would do that. Qale Noie or Derakshan.....yes those would.

The main criticism I have of queiroz is that he wasn't very open to change his defensive approach. Even against teams where it was unnecessary, he still played defensively. It ended up being okay in the asian cup but the Nigeria and Bosnia game could have been different if he had risked more and called up more offensive players.

Thanks. Adapting to your environment isn't always a bad thing but adapting to our football environment that is in Iran is terrible thing to do.

[AminGP]

The main criticism I have of queiroz is that he wasn't very open to change his defensive approach.

That's just his style of coaching. Atletico Madrid plays a similar defensive tactic even against "Granada" who's in the bottom of La Liga. They only had 35% possession of the ball against a bottom team.

Dooste Gerami,

There is an old saying in coaching that says:
"if you want me to cook the dinner, at least let me pick the ingredients"

No coach likes to lose.
No coach wants to get fired.

CQ has picked the best method that he sees fit for THIS Iranian team to succeed. Again, THIS iranian team isnt very offensive and very talented. So, he has decided to tighten the midfield, play sound football in the back and use the counter attacks.
We must allow every coach to play their system.

[Kiarash]

As of now, 74.55% is in support of Carlos Queiroz.

Meanwhile, only 16.36% is in favor of a coach like Amir Ghalenoei or Hossein Faraki.

The facts speak for themselves.

[Bi-honar]

I voted 4 but I still fully support CQ. People who voted 4 & 5 fall into the 88% category.

It's actually 75% here Amin jaan and I suspect the numbers in Iran would have dropped to around the same levels since the 90 poll because of the latest fiasco.

At any rate, my point was that 88% of the fans don't feel that CQ's tenure has been perfect or give him a 100% approval rating, the way some gentlemen have been throwing those numbers around.

In fact, the majority of the fans (58%) at least here on PFDC, don't feel that CQ has been perfect or beyond criticism - at least that's how I'm interpreting the results.

[Bijans]

He didn't come to Iran to adapt to our environment, he came to adapt our football with the world class environment.

Amin jaan you are absolutely right but understand changing a nation and its bad habits is a process and not a project that can be done in a short period of time. He has changed lots of things but needs to be lenient in some other aspects. You cannot have your way 100%.
