The Stooges strike again!

February 25th, 2008 | By: Afshin Afshar | 12 Comments »

It is official now; the decision on a new head coach has been delayed yet again! According to IRIFF Chief, Ali Kaffashian, there is “no reason to rush” the decision!

….What?!! There is no rush?!!?!?!

What the man is smoking is beyond me! Team Melli is scheduled to meet with Kuwait in
Kuwait City on March 26, and the man in charge claims there is no rush in hiring a head coach!!

Folks, here is a good reason why I personally do not buy the White House claims that Iran can be a nuclear threat in a year or two! I mean come on! Just take a look at how long it is taking these government bureaucrats to make a simple decision like hiring a head coach for the national football team, and then look me straight in the eye and tell me that you think the same bureaucrats can get their act together and make nuclear devices in two years!

I can see it right now; first they go over budget by 800%. Then the weapon becomes a 500 ton monstrosity that can not be moved out of the manufacturing area, and can be detonated only on the very same location; after it is properly cranked up of course!

They then will proceed to design and build Battleship Galactica so the device can be made airborne!

Afshin,

The next match is against Kuwait in Kuwait City on “March 26″. That’s 4 extra days later than what you were thinking. That should explain Kaffashian’s lack of sence of urgancy!!! LOL!!!! NO RUSH!!!!!

Look whtat Kaffashian has to say now about the urgency of situation according to ISNA:

زمان مشخصی نمی توان برای این امر تعیین کرد چرا که نمی خواهیم در این زمینه شتابزده تصمیم بگیریم ولی تلاش هیئت رئیسه و کمیته تیم های ملی این است که هر چه زودتر تکلیف سرمربی تیم ملی را روشن کنیم چرا که فرصت زیادی تا دیدار با کویت باقی نمانده است

No date in mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah I forgot, he is in NO RUSH!!!

John,

You should hire kia as your business manager. Seems like he is well rehearsed on IRIFF’s business practices
