If we want to finally break the jinx and qualify after almost half a century, TODAY itself is the day we must start the work. The kind of preparation that would see fruition after a few years only, but if s necessary and with more permanency.
There are quite a few people that need to accept the blame.
Starting with us fans. We have to understand any team/club needs to have a systemic infrastructure and that means a vibrant youth system. A system that is serious about development of fresh blood into our football. And for fans, that means we ought to be more patient and understanding with clubs that actually take player development seriously.
The kind of pressure Fouled has been under by its fans, at times, is an example.
This is one of the very few clubs that actually values development. But the moment they slip up (due to many factors, this season), fan pressure builds up on the team and forces the coach to resort to short term goals and the club management to act hastily and irrationality.
The clubs also need to invest in youth system of their own, instead of the present culture of ''mordeh khori & haazeri khori'' (like tractorsazi, pp, ss, ...). They should feel partly responsible for our constant failures at youth level.
Club management also should exercise patience with coaches who value player development. Even if for a season they don't see immediate results. This allows the said coaches a more breathing room to go about developing and investing in our homegrown talent.
The issue of conscription and military service needs to be attacked seriously and done with, immediately.
This ruinous law singlehandedly can cripple any effort by any club to invest in player development. They spend countless hours of man power to search for raw talent. Then gather them and start to spend funds to shape this talent into something useful.
Then, by the time the player is prepared and is ready to pay back for all the clubs' efforts, some ''mordeh khor'' club comes in and grabs the player!!!!
Instant killer of any desire to invest in youth!
This rule must be overthrown ASAP.
The IFF also has a big hand in it. And while Taaj has implemented some good policies with regards to use of youth in clubs, they need to enforce it more seriously.
They also need to understand our football is not limited to TM seniors. They need to invest and have a proper budget for our various youth level teams, consisting of adequate attention and funds to send them to various tours, camps, ... that help mature them and expose them to higher football.
But each time, they come to the last possible moment to show interest in our youth national teams, which is far too little too late.
But the general culture of governance , IR, which is based on denial of merit, grave incompetency and underusing our human resources is another reason we never get the right people in the right posts to create the correct environment for our football
