The funny thing is, Nekounam himself comes on TV and says we should not let CQ go the same way we did with Branko after the WC2006. He said the same way we should have kept Branko, we should keep CQ now! Hala Dr. Strangemoosh has become kaseye daghtar az aash! What are you other expert comments?
The fact is, Branko broke the record of getting good results for TM when it really mattered. and if Branko used Daei, CQ uses Shojaei, if Branko insisted on his own players, so did CQ up until the WC2014 with the inclusion of that lousy Davari! The fact is.... the very same arguments Branko bashers like Dr. Strangmoosh use for Branko, can be applied for CQ! The only difference is, CQ pays more attention to pespes/eses players while Branko didn't! I think the Branko basher's real issue is rather the lack of selection of "their" favorite players in TM during the Branko's time and nothing else!
