GN with all his warts was wanted by Pakhtakor. Teams like Sepahan and Esteghlal are amongst the biggest in Asia anyway...why move to the J-League and coach teams inferior? Ghotbi's team is a mid-table team in the J-League whose best ever achievement is a runner up place 12 years ago. Sepahan and Esteghlal are more renown clubs.

This is like arguing Shojaei is a great player because he plays in Osasuna. Ghotbi has had a career in IPL and TM. We know what he has to offer...big mouth, little spine and not a whole lot else.

People just detest GN so they can't give him his dues. If I had said Ebrahimizadeh > Ghotbi not as many would argue (and they shouldn't either as he is better as well).
Kaz jan,

Are you comparing one the most organized soccer league in the world ( J-LEAGUE) with IPL? I am sure you are not serious and you are just upset from Assuis' s lost today my friend. This has nothing to do with Ghotbi is good or bad.

I don't want to discuss GN vs Ghotbi as it's irrelevant and quite frankly a bit too funny. GN is wanted by Pakhtakhor? So why is he still in Iran? because jamkaran is too far away?
Probably because Sepahan is a better team and he gets paid more.

I agree, I don't want to argue Ghotbi v GN either. It really isn't an argument for anyone interested in cold hard facts.

I actually had saw the first part of this video a while ago and I liked his fire. In retrospect, and although it may be unfair to judge, you can see how he may have applied the same tactics to TM - which against S.Korea really were misplaced.

Also, you're referring to Sina in the Obama example If I am correct. I too think he was too fervent, but it is the sign of an intelligent mind that one can rethink and reconsider their position...especially a position they were emotionally connected with.

Ghotbi with that Persepolis team however had still the most wins by anyone in IPL history, most goals scored I believe too and without the point deduction, would also have had the most points won. If you want to take IPL as a measure, GN is nowhere near Ghotbi.
Um, no. Ghotbi won 18 games in his season. GN won 19 games with Esteghlal in his 2nd title. GN also beat Ghotbi with 19 games won with Sepahan last season. He holds essentially every record worth holding:

GN has most goals scored in a season ever record.
GN has least goals conceded in a season ever record.
GN has most points gained in a season ever record.
GN has had the best goal difference in a season ever record.
GN is the only coach to have won 2 IPL titles record.
GN is the only coach to have won 3 IPL titles record.
GN is the only coach to win IPL titles with two different teams record.

What makes this even more remarkable is the two times he took over Esteghlal we were in dire straits, closer to the bottom than the top.

Mahdi jan, I am past caring about either of these coaches to let it descend into a 10 page argument, but the above are cold hard facts.

Bardia jan, the Australian A-League may be more organised than the IPL but comparing Sepahan and Esteghlal to Queensland Roar or Adelaide United would be a lil' funny. Let's get real. Let's get past bullshit point-scoring. Even if he took over Gamba or Kashima Antlers I'd say the same. It's one thing to get hired somewhere; it is another thing to win championships. The fact that people even have to point to this move to the J-League as some sort of plus shows the deficiency in arguing about his record as it stands.

Kaz jan,

Let's say Ghotib used all his connections to get a job in J but this has nothing to do with J-Leuge being years ahead of any League in Asia and even Australia.

Bebin i see it this way: Ghotbi bigger than GN by all footballing accounts. Period. The guy has gone the right way and worked himself up from US to East Asia. He cant be all that bad in terms of coaching and everything related to it.

GN is just a cocksucker. A hezi dayoos who -as mentioned a few months ago- i have seen what kind of a motherfucker is as he came to PAS Tehran club to tasvie hesaab with someone, it was like shaboon bimokh trying to make gardo khaak with the difference ke GN taa zire tokhme manam nist martikeye heyvoon.

Baa joono del donbaalesh radif mishan vaghti in dayoos bade bord vasate zamin parcheye sabz pahn mikone o shoroo mikone namaaz balghoor kardan.

Farghe beyne in do: GN az nazare fanni pashme Ghotbi ham nist o nemitoone baashe.

I elaborated on my other post but I'll repost it here in case you missed it:

Even if he took over Gamba or Kashima Antlers I'd say the same. It's one thing to get hired somewhere; it is another thing to win championships. The fact that people even have to point to this move to the J-League as some sort of plus shows the deficiency in arguing about his record as it stands.

As for what you're arguing...who argued that the J-League isn't ahead of IPL? But is coaching Shimizu a better gig than coaching one of the giants in Asian football like Esteghlal? It isn't.

Shakhtar Donetsk may be in a crap league but it is a more privileged job than taking over Sunderland, which is in the EPL - which is far ahead of the Ukrainian league.

In my opinion, YES it is but I may be wrong and you are right. Just for your info Shimizu has the most national players than any other team in J-L.

Esteghlal is by far is more popular club i agree.

That's a nice fact; but a lot of their new generation plays abroad.

Ghotbi has promised them championships and glory. This is a team where for the last few years they have been mid-table peaking at around 4th spot around this last decade. His team isn't bad but I think the heavyweights of the league will have too much quality over the course of a season. If he does well, he'll prove his detractors wrong.

From what I have witnessed (and I have witnessed the entirety of his head-coach career) he isn't going to deliver and I wouldn't be surprised if he is removed before the season ends. It's one thing to shit on GN because you dislike him, but let's not start pretending his teams were Brazil circa 1970.

Kaz, you're right, GN had 1 win more. Sorry, got my number wrong.

Also, you're referring to Sina in the Obama example If I am correct. I too think he was too fervent, but it is the sign of an intelligent mind that one can rethink and reconsider their position...especially a position they were emotionally connected with.
Not when your new reaction is new emotional horseshit...

No problem. To clarify further: you also miscounted on the record points tally. Even had Perspolis got their 6 points back GN would still hold that record too. He pretty much holds every important record in existance. 1 record fine, 3 records fine...all the records? Let's give the man his dues for once. It's just not an argument that GN is better than Ghotbi (thus far).
 
Don't have time to read all 3 pages, but I'm sensing that there is a debate on if Ghom is better than kashoon .......


Advocates of GN : For every championship that GN brought to Taj, he screwed up couple of championship opportunities.....Ego, nabalad kari,....

Among the IPL coaches, having a claim on fame and mastery, he is probably moderately strong in arranging the team, but perhaps the worst bazi khaan as the game goes along, which is an indication of his lack of depth in classical analysis of football.
Relatively OK motivator


Ghotbi :
Do not discredit estili's role in the team that was handed to Ghotbi for that zooraki championship.The core of that team was also coached by denizly and haan shortly before.
He is a good motivator,and perhaps one of the best in recent years in iran in bazi khaani. He is weaker than GN in terms of preparing the team (physically) to start the game.
He is better than GN in grooming young talent. He is also much more civilized than GN,so less potential of ego issues,kesafat bazi, and conflicts with players.





In conclusion, na ghom khobe na kashoon. But I suspect Ghotbi has a better path for him to potentially excell. GN, has reached his cap.hamine ke hast.

With all due respect biAzar jan ;); GN's won 3/7 years in the top flight - 2/4 for Esteghlal. One of those years were with Mes and only half a season as well. Two of those non-league winning years were his first ever 2 seasons in charge of a top flight club. It's often forgotten that GN is still a relatively new coach. That kind of league winning percentage is fantastic by any standard.

I disagree with some of the rest as well. GN is renown for his changes in 2nd half - making his team play better, as far az bazi-khani goes. Someone who has all these records can't be a so-so coach - with respect to the level of football he is competing in. I'd say his big weakness is succumbing to pressure. When it gets to the tail end of the season or in the ACL...he starts making dumb decisions and as the media gets on his back he seemingly starts to pass that pressure onto the players and it is visible often.

He does seem to have an unfailing belief in the players he picks. Borhani essentially cost us a chance to get into the knock-out stages in the ACL by missing a penalty and chance after chance. GN's response: I don't care if he misses many more; I believe in him. One may question that is why Borhani suddenly became aghaye gol under his reign and back to retardation once GN left.

As for the future...who knows. As of right now...it's pretty clear.

I don't think even GN's son defends GN the way Kaz defends him!

But it pains me to say that GN's Esteghlal played much much better football than Ghotbi's Perspolis.
I will not compare results....because we really cant compare!
Ghotbi was only in charge of PP for 2 years. GN has been coaching clubs for almost 10 years now.

And we all know that this CANCER is well conencted to virtually every sector of society including VEZARAT ETTELAAT!!

I am only comparing the style of the 2 coaches...and well Ghotbi...he has none!

Ghotbi is a good showman...he could have had incredible success if he went on television, hosting events, etc.
he will be fired before half season from his new club.

And Mansour Ebrahimzadeh OWWNNSS both these assholes.
What he has achieved with Zobahan in the past 3-4 years far exceeds what GN, Ghotbi, Jalali or anyon else can even dream of accomplishing.
He is currently the best coach in Iran.


ps, the ONLY reason why few people still defend Ghotbi despite his horrible coaching and siding with AN, is because he coached perspolis...
If he coached Esteghlal, people like Houmanbahal would be shitting all over him from the get-go.

I have this unhealthy, annoying and often inconvenient habit of caring about the facts.

I agree with your P.S. comment.

Well you should also know the FACTS of what GN does outside the pitch...something you have never wanted to accept.
What he does outside of the pitch is mostly irrelevant for the large part, with regards to this discussion. You want to taint him...go ahead. Just remember to taint everybody else associated with our football. It's never been that I don't accept that he may have certain influence; it's just that it goes for essentially anybody who has a high place in our football. Which is the irony as people point to GN as if the likes of Kohan, Ghotbi, Daei and many others are better.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: you can't pick and choose. Either they're all dirty or none of them are.

what an awkward thing to say...who doesn't care about the facts?
Haha, you're Iranian...that shouldn't sound awkward at all.
