    Busan I'Park v Suwon Samsung Bluewings
    Wednesday 24th August, 2005
    K-League second stage (First round of matches)
    Busan Asiad Stadium

    It's a rather curious twist of fate that has Cha Bum-keun going up against Ian Porterfield tonight in the first match of the second round of the K-League, with Suwon traveling down to Busan to try and kickstart their season and Busan looking to continue their momentum to aid their AFC Champions League chances

    Winner gets the national team job? Wouldn't put it past the KFA ;)

    KFA will never put Cha as the coach of the NT after 98. No way, hopefully not. I hope they are smarter than this.

    Any chance KFA could offer chunk of money to lure Mick McCarthy from Sunderland? I think he's a very underrated coach.

    There are no direct quotes from anyone at the KFA here, but this article seems to be suggesting that the KFA are currently deciding between the two of them:

    I didn't win Rkim's poll, so it seems that I'm not the popular choice for the job :(

    Forza IPARK! Actually, considering the fact that Koreans can easily sack somebody, maybe a five nil defeat from Busan could sack Cha from the Suwon job.

    I like Cha. The way he is critical of Cha DR, he is likely to dump his son from KNT. Let the Cha's team win. :D

    Suwon won 2-1 through second half goals from Kwak Hee-ju and Itamar, after Da Silva had given Busan the lead.

    Cha for Korea? ;)

    suwon should be easily crusing throug the k-league, but they're not. cha, despite being the best player korea has produced, he remains a mid-level coach. how can the kfa go back to him, especially after the disappointments of '98?

    Admittedly this is from the Daily Record, a Scottish newspaper primarily aimed at the kind of folk who sat at the back of your class and ate crayons, but they seem to reckon that Porterfield has actually been offered the job and has said no.

    Wouldn't read too much into anything they print though...

    Ian Porterfield wouldnt be a bad coach but lets forget Cha, he's an awesome coach but if he coaches KNT, he'll just start Cha Doo Ri every game :D jk..

    Cha would be crazy too take the job again...he was basically exiled after 98....another performance like that and he might loses citizenship.

    Porterfield if I had to choose between the two. Does he speak any Korean yet I wonder....

    Porterfield doesn't speak Korean but he does like the country.

    Let's not forget that Cha gained his experience in 1998, and that he had no experience in coaching the NT in a major competition before 98.
    Surely we can give him another chance. Since he can communicate well with players and know a lot about them.

    Sure, why not?

    In general, I would like Korean to be the KNT coach. Other than Hiddink, past foreign coaches weren't any better (or worse) than their Korean counterparts. Might as well stick with Korean coach this time. Besides, this obssession to worship "forein" anything is not healthy for Korean economy. 국산품애용! :D ;)

    But Cha's been doing rather badly with Suwon, who are arguably the club with the best players in the league... So what merit has he got? Besides, Cha has stated in the past that he'll never take the NT job again, after the horrible nightmare he went thru that was the 98WC campaign.

    I just wonder that if we have to choose a domestic manager, then there might be options available other than Cha (it's not a matter of giving him another chance, but whether he'll be crazy enough to take it again ;))

    I'll say no thanks to all domestic coaches with an exception of Kim Ho. even he doesn't have what it takes to take us to the promise land in the World Cup IMO.

    one thing we have to think about if we are to hire a domestic coach is that we don't and never did have a proper system to produce managers who can do well in international level. about 95% of our domestic coaches are former big name players who automatically turned themselves into managers after their retirement. that's just not gonna get it done.

    until we have the proper system to produce quality managers, our best option is to hire a big name foreign coach who proved himself in both international and club level and make our assistants, players, and FA learn from him.
