Queiroz vs. UHLSport is settled !

 A meeting held between Carlos Queiroz and his lawyer and on the other side , Jaffari of UHLSport was carried out yesterday in the presence of Ali Kaffashian , the head of FFIRI, in which all the differences between the two parties were amicably resolved, it was claimed in a communique.

According to FFIRI website the meeting held on Sunday at the Sports Academy building , the discussion was focused on Team Melli kit issue. The communique mentioned that all the differences between Querioz and Jaffary was cleared and the problems resolved by the end of the meeting.

Carlos Queiroz will be bound to wear the official Team Melli kit supplied by  UHLSport at the FIFA World Cup 2014 as part of contractual obligations between UHLSport and the Iranian football federation (FFIRI).

In a real turn of events, all the drama about the quality of the supplied kit by UHLSport and all the complaints made by Queiroz and number of his player about the poor quality of the kit have suddenly been resolved. There is no mention nor any reference to the report by UHLSport company committee that visited the camp in Austria and confirmed that some low quality replica kits that is NOT originated from UHLSport has been found in Iran’s kit supplies, confirming what Queiroz and his players were saying all along about the shrinking jersey.

In the FFIRI communique , there is no mention of any investigation into how did some fake or low quality kits end up in Team Melli camp, who is the guilty party , who was accountable. There is no mention of any possible shoddy deals that might have led to this occurrence which tarnished the name of Iran globally. Finally no reference to the alleged demand by Carlos Queiroz that he had blackmailed UHLSport into paying him a commission or else he will not approve the kit or wear them !. Carlos Queiroz has taken an exception to that claim and has said that he ordered his lawyers to file a libel case against Romario sport and uhlssport as a result of their slander.

Perhaps keeping a cap on the issue for the time being is not such a bad idea, but dismissing it completely without any investigation into the matter and without producing a report underlining the failures and the shortcomings, is very suspicious indeed and raises many questions of some sort of conspiracy.

Carlos Queiroz has been tight lipped about the case after initially raising a storm with his accusation about the quality of the supplied kit by UHLSport. Perhaps he is forced to remain silent on the issue, but since it made the world headline, it is imperative that some action has to be carried out rather than sweep the issue under the carpet.
