Daejeon Citizen fans have been rocked by the news that several Citizen players have been suspended due to allegations of match fixing.
According to the Korea Times, eight Daejeon players are being investigated into claims that they took money to lose their K-League Cup second round game against Pohang Steelers, a game which Daejeon lost 3-0.
At an emergency board meeting, held after last weekend's 3-2 home defeat to Jeonbuk, the entire board and coaching staff, including manager Wang Seon-Jae, have resigned.
In an official statement on their website, Daejeon Citizen have admitted that the game in question was indeed rigged and claim that they will endeavor to find and eliminate the root of the problem.
The KFA have responded on Wednesday by setting up a task force in an attempt to eradicate all forms of corruption in the K-League.
