Thank you Dragan, and best of luck in the future - appreciation thread

[eerooni]

Seriously thank you, not easy in Iran if your name is not big, no matter what you do you will be in trouble, thats the culture. If Dragan was TM coach 8 years and reached exactly the same results CQ reached ( i mean exactly) he still would have been destroyed.
I am sure he will get a very well paid job in some middle eastern countries, at least i hope so , he deserves it because he is a good person.sadly tm seriously looks like a team which never played together before, thats the problem...

Exactly, the DNA and the nature of this vile regime revolves around a sick idealogy and not nationalism, not patriotism not Iran loving. So any organization people or persons looking to advance Irans progress and prestige will be removed and removed in a punishing way…. Just ask Ali Daei

[Nima]

Thanks for everything he did.

And for everyone who say he dont have play style. They say the same about Ancelotti
And dont forgett he had almost to win every game, so instead of impley his style, he have set up a team to win. And he have been good at it.
Is he CQ? no
but to say everyone could do what he did is only stupid

I do not know kateb khan. I can't see into the future. The way things are going we will not advance. Still, I am hoping we are able to rise to the occasion and give Iran fans a first advancement from the groups. More importantly I like team melli to show the world our brand of football. footballeh Irani...

are you in favor of an iranian coach?
or you just want skocic?
or anyne but cq?

I prefer Skocic over an Iranian coach, if it has to be Iranian I prefer someone like Ghotbi to yahya, Ghalenoi or Nekounam. I would prefer most of these guys over CQ. He had his chance, 8 years is way more than any coach would get in today's game. His results aside we need new tactics and new style or it is just stagnating even if a coach gets good results 8 years is just too long unless of course they are winning cup after cup but still 8 years with one coach is just too long.

yahya plays same style as skocic not big fan of yahya in tm.
i see gotbi as dark horse if they go persian an gn, jn, say no
i say them going with gotbi LONG SHOT.
nekunam is my second candidate
AND GALENOIE IS MY FIRAT CHOICE AMONG PERSIAN COACHES.
but look cq will give us better chance to get better results.
we dnt need to go 8 years with him again.
we bring him in for the wc and we go from there.
LAST MAJOR TROPHY TM HAS WON is asian cup 1976,
after that 2 asian games with senior players 1990 parvin, 98 pourhydari. SO I DONT understand your logic of winning trophy
left an right. AND PLEAE dont mention waff, or caf tournments
those dont worth menioning.
we won 2 trophies since 1976 an neither one has been asian cup.

skocic with plyrs divided its not a good situation.

I can't believe people are considering Ghotbi to be the HC for TM during the WC... What has Ghotbi actually achieved? Other than getting us knocked out of the AFC2011? What's he going to do? Bring back Arash Afshin?

think he needs to bring back AK8 (as a player and not as a coach), if he can promise that im ok with him as a coach.

Ak8 man this player is missed, here is a few short sequenses in a game vs uea few years earlier,
This is exaclty what we miss in TM atm backing up our forwards with his vision, passing, hustle and skillset.

I always thought Arash Afshin was Kaabi'ing his age

This is him at 23 years old....

[peiman92]

He’s staying.

[Karimi 8]

Well seems like his future is to be TM coach at the world cup yikes

[Hosseini]

Yes, looks like he stays for the *time being*

But this is honestly better than IFF hiring GN which was widely speculated

Hopefully will be out after Aug 30th post election and CQ will be in when Taj wins

Just FYI taj preferred Wilmots over resigning CQ. Taj is still named in dispute with CAS. Doubt he can won any election.

He can and will win the election. Too highly connected

[Iran_19]

We all know getting rid of CQ was Soltanifar decision. Taj actually wanted to keep him.

I was really worried that he might be fired. Now I can sleep well at night knowing he’ll have a World Cup on his resume and can use to that to negotiate higher salaries in the future. As for TMs results in the WC, who gives a shit… As long as Skocic and his bank account are happy, I’m happy.
