Not fair to criticize him utill we know more.
Question remain:
Did Hashemian knew before Iraq game thaT is Wilmots's last game with TM?
IFF/Taj simply lie and deceit, never tell whole story.
For what has emerged:
1-Wilmots cancelled his contract about two weeks before Iraq game. He claims IFF has failed to comply with term of contract by not paying him. He also had invoked safety clause due to riot in Tehran (afterward).
2- He notified IFF about his decision and asked for a meeting between IFF representative and his lawyer to discuss cancellation and his compensation.
3- Taj met in Istanbul with Wilmots and his lawyer but Wilmots insist his decision is final. They agreed with the followings:
A- they delay public announcement until after Iraq Game to limit damage to TM
B-Wilmots will come to Iran only for Iraq game and will leave Iran (as a favor !),
C-2nd meeting to take place in Turkey to discuss compensation to Wilmots.
If true:
Why would Taj agree with this bizarre scenario.
Who else beside Taj was aware of final cancellation?
Did Wilmots tell his assistant( Hashemian)? (he has told non-Iranian assistants).
As I said before Iraq game, the damage is done.
In hindsight, it was better for Him not to come to Iran and let Hashemian do the job.
