BREAKING NEWS: persepolise and esteghlal disqualified from ACL

[eerooni]

IR corruption and mismanagement has come face to face with AFC corruption and mismanagement. For years, IR officials have avoided privatizing Perspolis and Esteghlal to take advantage of their fan base for political support and perhaps being scared of them becoming a non-government major societal force to deal with. Now, AFC who did not succeed in eliminating TM from the WC 2022 scene is aiming at another vulnerability and exposure to damage Iran football. The way TM was able to overcome the open scheme was showing them on the pitch. The problem here is that unless Esteghlal and Perspolis are fully privatized, they will not be able to manage their own destiny. Of course there are no guarantees that private companies will not be corrupt or mismanaged yet they will at least have a chance to go at it and in a sense use the opportunity to "leave everything on the pitch".

Go Perspolis!
Go Esteghlal!
Go PGPL!

AFC eliminating Asias largest club on grounds of lack of professionalism is the biggest favor in our football history post JE!!!!
