How would you approach this play?

A-League Soccer

Adelaide United V Sydney Wanderers in Adelaide.

Story goes that Coach John Kosmina quit the club on saturday via twitter citing a lack of trust in the club and as such handed in his resignation, effective immediately.

His understudy Michael Valkanis (who was captain under Kosmina's original Tenure from 2003-2007) has taken over as interim coach but United are renowned for not hiring in-house.

United sit in 4th on the ladder, having lost its last 2 games. Whereas the Wonderers, sitting 3rd on a 3 game win streak.

Personally think the publicness of Kosmina's resignation will have to sow seeds of doubt in the club, which will filter down to the players.

Wanderers are currently +150 but i suspect will close around +120ish, United +180 and Draw +230.

Anyway, what would you do in this spot??

What's the financial situation of the club? Many times if players are owed money they don't pay to their potentials until their wages are paid in full.

Both clubs are +EV from that standpoint.

No problems with players money etc.
How will players react to having a ex player as coach and will the manner by which Kosmina departed cause dissent amongst the ranks?

 

[Saulty]

Well if the ex-coach twitted he resigned because of luck of trust from the club it means the players didn't want him as a coach. So maybe they will play hard next game to prove to the owners they are worthy.

Saulty I'm hearing you. Only thing is that Kosmina was +EV as a coach and had the respect of his players.

Primary reason he even came back was because club was playing so poorly under ex coach Rini Coolen.

I wanna fade United here but not sure...

Did you pull the trigger? It hasn't generated much odds movement and this type of media drama usually have no effect on actual performance.
