So it’s time to roll out everyone’s favourite ‘relegation waterfall’ as we count down the battle to avoid the drop and the quagmire that is the K-League 2…..and I mean that in the nicest possible way…..honestly!
That Seongnam manager Kim Nam-il has played for three K1 teams, neither of which is Seongnam, should be enough to motivate the normal glum looking manager into something akin to an emotion in the dugout as he looks to get one over his previous employers….sadly it doesn’t, and instead it more often than not ends…
It’s been a while since I’ve posted on this blog, a combination of a COVID-ravaged fixture list and the fatherly duties of raising a toddler have left me both without time and interest. But I decided to sit down today and try to write something about what is quite simply one of the biggest ‘six-pointers’…
I decided to wait until the last minute to write my final Seongnam preview of the 2020 season as it seemed fitting that I should give my preview as much thought and attention as Kim Nam-il seems to have given his team selections and tactics at times this season.
It was a rain-battered Seongnam fanbase that left Tancheon on Sunday October 10th 2016 having witnessed their team huff, puff and basically look disinterested as they sideways passed their way to a 0-0 against Incheon United in the first of 5 disastrous Relegation Group matches. As the fans made their way around the almost flooded…
The Big news before a ball has been kicked in this week’s games was the departure, finally, of Suwon Bluewings manager Lee Lim-saeng.

Last weekend finally confirmed Seongnam FC’s place in the 2020 K-League One as they came back from Sangju 1-0 winners courtesy of a second half Seo Bo-min strike. There was no change at the foot of the table as Gyeongnam and Jeju drew 2-2 while Incheon came from behind against Bluewings to snatch a share…
The games are played, the split has been made and the groups are final and in this year’s Relegation Group (I can’t get behind Final Round Group B) we have two teams already safe, three teams battling to avoid relegation and Seongnam hoping to avoid a repeat of 2015 when they imploded in the last…
Friday The 2019 K-League One season sees the return to the top table of Seongnam FC as The Magpies grace the league’s top division again after spending the last two seasons in K-League Two. They kick off their season with a trip to Changwon to face last year’s runners-up Gyeongnam FC. Gyeongnam bolstered their squad…
