1-0 to Kwangju .... not good at all.
Time for Mrs Cha to go I think.

I suppose the amount of draws that every other side in the league will pick up between now and the end of the season will count in Suwon's favour... not out of it yet by any means, as no-one has six points. Just Incheon, Daejeon and Suwon still to draw a game in the 2nd section of the league and they've only played 2 rounds. Gwangju 1-0 Suwon - 27,863 Daejeon 0-1 Incheon - 16,152 Busan 2-1 Daegu - 8,950 Chunnam 0-0 Cheonbuk - 4,267 Seoul 2-0 Seongnam - 4,012 Bucheon 0-0 Pohang - 1,025 7 goals from 6 games, and two of them were penalties... this league just keeps churning out the exciting matches, eh?  |

I wonder if the combined head-count in the CGV and Carrefour tonight between 7-8:45pm would outnumber that FC Seoul attendance...

3 goals at the Daegu game.
What would we do without them?
Is there some kind of charity event going on down there for number of goals scored getting the recipients 100,000 or something?
What's that 43 for and 43 against from 26 games?
The best attack by 8 and the worst defense by 7.
If they could scratch up a defense they'd be unstoppable.

A couple of photos from the game...  Lee Byung-kun getting wrong-footed by Seo Dong-won.  Teams line up for the anthem... the Gwangju kit really is horrible. |

This Cha-boom..maybe its time for a new coach next season... The thing is though, who do you bring in? With only 12 other professional sides in Korea, there's limited space for folk to learn their trade. Options: 1: Samsung could utilise their not inconsiderable clout to pinch for example Choi Soon-ho from Pohang or Cho Yoon-hwan from Cheonbuk. 2: Appoint someone from a K2 team (Goyang's Lee Woo-hyung, perhaps) or similar standing side (Huh Jung-moo from the Yongin academy  ) 3: Appoint an untried coach... someone on the Grandbleu site suggested Seo Jung-won. 4: Go for the foreign option. 5: Let me pick the team. The foreign option is perhaps the riskiest of all, given that the eight previous foreign coaches in the league haven't really been all that successful. Bicskei Bertalan at Daewoo was the only one to win a title, and Valeri Nepomniatchi won two Adidas Cups with Yukong. Tinaz Tirpan was an abject disaster, and history won't be too kind to Werner Lorant's record either (and hopefully Ian Porterfield's too). You would have to think that the Suwon job is a bit too big to go shoving an untried coach in there, which would sadly rule out options 3 and 5 above, and it's questionable whether someone with only K2 experience would do a decent job when faced with trying to motivate the likes of Nadson and Marcel who are picking up fat pay-cheques each week. Bring back Kim Ho, he's only 59 and still a young loon compared to Seongnam's 67 year-old boss! |

But I'd be nae use as Suwon manager... I always get the dunt in Championship Manager!
It's really annoying... the only two teams that I want to do well with are Suwon and Aberdeen, and they're the two teams that I am invariably crap with! I think I managed to win the League Cup once with Aberdeen and the Asian Club Championship & Korean League Cup with Suwon and that's it. Every other campaign has ended with me getting the boot.
I've done well with Bucheon in the K-league before, and plenty of times with other Scottish sides. Hmmmm...

Cha Bum-keun's even less popular with Suwon fans now after releasing defender Kim Young-sun. He was 29 and had been at Suwon since 1998, played 144 games since then but hasn't featured at all this season under Cha.
Binning him as well as shunting Popescu out on loan were not popular moves, judging by the reaction on the Grandbleu site...
