In an interview with the sports reporter of Tasnim news agency, Mohammad Rouyanian said: Yes, I have a court order, but it has been a year since he took action. I did not. Of course, with his crimes, it is more than this amount, and my demand is about four billion. I did not take any action until now, but I talked to the club officials and told them to think. I am still a tenant and my salary goes to rent and my life is difficult. Now that the verdict has been issued and it is my right, I asked them to pay my money.
He continued: I hope they pay attention to this issue. When a manager sells his house and life and spends on the club, he must be paid. We also sold our life capital at that time.
In response to the question of what case his claim is related to and why he spent this money for the club from his own pocket, the former CEO of Persepolis Club stated: I took a loan for the club and they asked us for a document. We were also in a hurry and had to leave the document of our house. I lost my house for six or seven years now and I am a tenant. Due to the increase in rent prices, now most of my salary goes to rent and I live in difficult conditions. Despite my demand, they won’t give me a 50-meter house in the lower part of the city. I left my 170-meter house in a good spot in Tehran for the club. After a lifetime of work and efforts and selling everything we had at home and a father’s land in Mazandaran, we had bought that house, which also went to Persepolis Club! I want to buy a house anywhere, it will not be more than 60, 70 meters.
Regarding who he met in the club to receive his request, Rouyanian clarified: I met Mr. Shahriari, the chairman of the club’s board of directors, and asked them to get involved in this matter so that the situation does not get worse. Every day my rent increases and I don’t know what will happen in the future. I have the right to at least live in a house for myself, but I was deprived of it. I did not complain to anyone and I have been like this for 9 years.
“Despite all the difficulties you mentioned, you were still mentioned as one of the options for CEO of Persepolis club in the past years. If this post is offered to you again, would you accept it?”, he emphasized in response to this question: No! I completely lost my chance and I don’t want to enter football anymore and come to Persepolis. I was a policeman and God blessed me and I did successful things during my time in charge. I played a role in the establishment of Police 110 and was the head of traffic. At the fuel headquarters, we also did successful work during the rationing period. I am proud of this and I like to always be a soldier of the people. These things are beyond my control and I don’t want to return to football.
In response to the question of whether he will execute his court order and close the club’s account if the club does not pay his demands, the former CEO of Persepolis Club said: I tried not to do this until now. I don’t want to worry the club where I was the CEO and whose fans loved me. I don’t like to cause trouble for the club, that’s why we have been consulting for a year. For eight years, I have asked various ministers to pay for my house. When he went home, they did not pay him. They also said go file a complaint and we will pay you back. The former minister’s office said this and told me to take action through legal authorities so that they can pay me. Mr. Soltanifar himself was upset and that’s why his office told me to follow the legal path so that they can pay me, but this has not happened so far.
