I mean treating their country like some foul liquid that he will only submerge himself in long enough to do the job can't possibly engender respect among the players who fight for its honor. I'd say at this point, Iran could hire Gazza and have a better, more useful choice. Actually that may be the solution to both their problems. Iran would have a coach that needs them and wouldn't make insane and insulting demands and Gazza would have no way to get drunk between training sessions.
