The Ansan Greeners, the second division team that disgraced them the most this year. It was revealed to the public that manager, CEO, and manager Kang Ho-jin accepted players after receiving bribes from agents. Prosecutors indicted a total of 10 people, including coaches and CEO, agents, coaches of elementary school and college football teams, and parents. A trial is underway against them.

 

As the coach was arrested and senior officials were under investigation by prosecutors, the mood of the team completely deteriorated. Due to such heavy workload, the team recruited a new head coach in a way that went against the spirit of partnership. Lim Kwan-shik, the head coach of the Jeonnam Dragons, was brought in. It was unreasonable to remove the head coach from the Jeonnam team, which is engaged in a playoff battle in the second division during the season. His performance that dropped to the bottom was a mess and his personnel management was even worse.

 

Ansan denied any accusations in the early stages of its investigation. It was a time when a flurry of related articles poured in as the prosecution investigation was underway. He was the only reporter among the reporters who raised suspicions that then-coach Lim Jong-hun took bribes in return for accepting players even while working as an Ansan manager. An Ansan employee called the reporter and said, "Coach Lim Jong-hun's fault happened when he was working as a Thai professional team coach. It has nothing to do with the current Ansan team." When the reporter asked, "We will see. I would have raised suspicions without any grounds," his explanation turned out to be a complete lie.

 

The Ansan club has yet to issue an apology for its sincerity. The Ansan Greeners Public Audit Notice, which was posted on the notice on the club's website on Sept. 1, is also vague. If you click on the notice, it says that there was no apology for the scandal and that they received reports on general irrationalities and inconveniences. It is a nuance of conducting a general audit even when starting an audit due to irregularities related to scouting. When it comes to public audit, the principle is to disclose the audit results. Ansan City, however, has not disclosed the audit results for some reason. It can only be seen as a way to make fun of citizens.

 

It is common sense to admit one's mistake and make an apology when it is found to be true. It should be even more so for city and provincial teams. Not a few finances are covered by taxes paid by citizens. Ansan's long silence is a dereliction of duty to citizens and a deception against itself, the main body of the soccer team. Mayor Lee Min-geun, the owner of the team, apologized and promised to prevent a recurrence. However, he has yet to come up with a reliable reform plan. The mayor's remarks that forming a player selection committee would block irregularities in selecting players are shedding light. Does the mayor really not know that it would be wasteful to overhaul the system without a full-scale personnel reshuffle.

 

Why does a municipal team exist? Is it to win the championship? Ultimately, it gives impression, joy, hope, pride, and pride to the local people. What did the Ansan team give to Ansan citizens this year? They must be shocked, ridiculous, absurd, and embarrassed. Acting as if nothing happened while committing illegal acts and remaining ignorant will only lead to dissatisfaction and distrust from the local people. Is there any value and reason for such a municipal team to exist? If it is the "now" Ansan team, it should be disbanded. 안전놀이터

 

On the Ansan club's website, these greetings are written along with a picture of Mayor Lee Min-geun.

 

"A club where citizens are happy. This is the management philosophy of Ansan Greeners FC."

 

How many citizens believe this greeting.
