1) Does CQ have an ego? Sure. But so do people like Mayeli Kohan, Ghalenoei and Derakhshan. His biggest critics have the same ego as him, even though they couldn't get hired as janitors in places he's worked.
2) CQ didn't go after Branko. This all started because Branko went after CQ even though CQ had always been respectful toward him. Branko is good at playing 'moosh mordeh' but he's always been self-serving and cunning in a passive aggressive way.
3) Branko did more than just object to the national team plans. His comments were personal and hostile toward CQ and accused him of "trying to determine the league winner". This is a major accusation and a calculated comment to turn Perspolis fans against CQ. He's pretending somehow this is all designed to hurt Perspolis!
4) Branko knows both red and blue fans have a pathetic tendency to turn against team melli when they think their club or one of its heroes has been "mistreated". Look at how some blue fans turned against CQ after Rahmati's debacle, and look at how red fans are embarrassing themselves by attacking CQ on facebook and Instagram to defend their "man of 40 million" as if he gives a damn about any of them. Branko has been in our football long enough to know this pitiful tendency among our fans and he's trying to use it to his advantage.
5) He was demanding that not only team melli's camps be drastically reduced to just FIFA days, he was also trying to turn a major segment of Iranian fans against the coach by claiming he wants to rig the league. A team with inadequate preparations that has also lost the backing of half the fans has a much lower chance of success in the qualifiers, and this Croatian charlatan knows that quite well. He's playing a game that's win-win for him. Either team melli's plans don't change and red fans turn against team melli, or camps are drastically shortened and red fans still don't like CQ. Either way it's more likely for the national team to fail in which case the coach will be changed ... and guess WHO is on the shortlist to replace him. He knows Carlos has a rocky relationship with the establishment. He knows some blue fans don't like him because of Rahmati. All he has to do is sabotage CQ's relationship with the rest of the fans.
The good news is at least Taj seems to understand this and has made it clear to Branko that any future complaints have to go through the club management. Whether that's enough to stop some Iranians from being used like sheep by that Croatian con artist, remains to be seen.
