Guest Pedro_de_geordieo Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I was talking about your prediction he might bring in a non-English speaking manager, the only thing I've heard about his choice of manager was the suggestion when the story first broke that he'd bring in Keegan. If Daei's a good coach and can speak or is willing to speak English and the manager (whoever he may be) wants him onboard, that's fine. If Mahjoob's for real and he brings in a load of free Iranian no-hopers on the basis that they're his Dad's mates nephew or something rather than investing in the team then it'll be bad. If he brings across the next Ali Karimi or Karim Bagheri to supplement a team sourced from a wide range of clubs and countries, it'll be excellent. In the position we're in at the moment there are few World Cup countries whose very best players we could turn our noses up now, even if they're hardly Brazil on the world stage. Yep that's a very good point and I can see it from your point of view, if he can bring in those kinds of players fantastic but if he floods our field with useless no hopers and then tells the manager who to play that would be bad. I just hope they can have good communication with the fans unlike the current regime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzaA2 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Has the takeover been confirmed yet? If they are in the final stages of negotiations then assuming there's no last minute hitch, it should be announced by Monday at the latest. Happy days.

Guest Phil K Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Actually reading some of the "comments" from this "Mr Serious" (bringing in his mate in Iran to train the squad for example) has me despairing.........

I repeat - this cannot be Sirous. I don't know why people find it so difficult to engage their brain before making such assumptions. Does anyone seriously think someone will invest £100m in a football club then turn it into a training academy for a country thousands of miles away?

Does anyone seriously think someone will invest £100m in a football club then turn it into a training academy for a country thousands of miles away? Exactly. I'd imagine it'll be similar to Shiniwatra at City where he sent some of Thailand's youths and putting them in the reserves & Academy rather than first-team.

Tbh his supposed quote 'doing this for Iranian football' can be interpreted a number of ways, no one knows what his plans are except it will involve Iranian personnel in some form.
