Rouyanian: Our time did not favor wealthy foreigners, we built a holding company that ran wild

According to the sports reporter of Fars News Agency, Mohammader Rouyanian said on the sidelines of the unveiling ceremony of a documentary about Ali Ansarian: Like all Persepolis people, I came to pay respect to the late veteran of the team. Ali Ansarian was an outstanding and popular artist and a footballer with morals and taste! His soul is happy.

He said about the financial problems of Persepolis club: The most fundamental problem of Esteghlal and Persepolis is the management of these two clubs, they are neither government nor private! They cannot use government money, nor can they separate. This uncertainty makes these two clubs always have problems. Governments choose managers and people have expectations, but the managers’ hands are tied. The main point is that the government wants to make a decision for these two clubs.

Rouyanian clarified: This is what happens when these clubs are state-owned. They came to privatize these two clubs, they didn’t privatize them properly. Their problems increased. One of the problems is the variety of decisions. Money was injected into two clubs through the stock exchange, so what should they do now that this money is gone?! There are heavy costs of money for players and coaches and organizing competitions and they are left in his office. These two clubs should be privatized and the right financial resources should be defined for them. Stable financial resources of the player, because he does not get his money, he interviews against the CEO, and the CEO also promises to give the money, but he can’t, both things are wrong.

The former CEO of Persepolis said about Hawadar Matmool: This is a new issue that I heard during our time, Hawadar Matmool was not considered to leave! We tried to create a holding company for the club so that they could work and the club could generate income, but they screwed up everyone. They didn’t understand what we did and they didn’t talk to me and they ruined it. I provided a reserve fund for the club to spend 10-15 billion tomans per year for veterans and basic teams. They destroyed everything we built. After us, 8-9 CEOs came and ruined everything. Either these clubs should be government or they should be allowed to attract financial resources like private companies. These two clubs are left in the middle and undecided.
