B- Half of TM?!! Care to disclose how you came with that estimate?! In any case, most of the players annoyance, as articulated by many of them has to do with the incompetence of IFF, lack of friendlies, not getting paid what they were promised, lack of facilities and support, etc. A lot of discontent in the fans and the players is being fanned by those in Iran and its media who are to benefit from the discontent.
C- Most fans? Again, any evidence beyond this board? From what I gather from the fans in Iran, most are ticked happy that TM made an easy path to the WC. But I do not have a scientific poll and neither does anyone else. Furthermore, picking the TM coach is not a democratic process.
At the end of the day, here are the facts:
1- In the darkest hours of TM following Wilmots dismissal, no one, I repeat no one (including that arrogant as Fok Neku) stepped up. Skoc did. And he delivered. He delivered beyond the wildest imagination of anyone, including myself and just about everyone here.
2- As soon as qualification was becoming certain, all sorts of experts popped up to explain to us mortals that the results do not matter. Even though they were and still are the best in Iran's history. No......They explained that the other teams were bad... The very teams that had beat Iran a year earlier!! No Skoc was lucky! No this is the best Iran team ever!! No the moon was just right. Anything but to acknowledge the fact that under his leadership, TM was rescued and delivered to WC. PERIOD!
3- We all know that if he was fired (or if he will be fired) it will be a disaster. All the hyenas will want a piece of the WC action (read money). Each will want to either become the coach, or dictate who should be the coach. WE ALL KNOW THAT!!
We all want what's best for TM. But WE ALL KNOW what's waiting if he gets fired. We end up with clueless Iranian coaches who were too chicken to take the helm when it mattered. As much as I loved CQ and what he did, I would be surprised and disappointed if he takes the job. He has nothing to gain and everything to lose. And will have to file another law suit to get whatever it is they will promise him. I do not think he is THAT STUPID.
Once again, I suggest everyone to switch their focus to asking IFF to do its job, set up friendlies, camps, logistics, etc, etc. Berating the guy who has delivered more than anyone ever expected is not really a good look!!
