WTF happened to Quins?
Failed to sack John Kingston and Nick Easter about 6 months ago. Today was just dreadful, and yet again Kingston doesn't even have the guts to face the camera after the game.
Someone on one of the Quins Facebook group said they saw Dave Ward (our Hooker, for those who might not know) trudging out to his car, head hung low and still in his playing kit ten minutes after the final whistle.
Meanwhile, the board are banging on about building a bigger stadium, which seems ironic, given that at on current showing they're going to struggle to sell half the seats in the current stadium next year!
I don't generally want to see the Football approach to sacking managers come into rugby, but something is badly wrong in the Quins setup at the moment, and the only place to start is with a proper DoR, not the current ambitionless non-entity who has been happy to spend the last god knows how many years in moribund mediocrity at the Stoop.

Not so.Ward came off with an injured hand some time before the end. he changed back into his arrival kit - Adidas top and shorts - whatever that is called, and was sitting with the subs in his going home kit at the end of the game.

John Kingston is leaving Harlequins at the end of the season.

Next question... Will Dave Ellis and the board hire in a proper DoR, or will they give the job to one of the kids working in the burger van so they can spend more on a vanity project stadium expansion?http://www.quins.co.uk/news/john-kingston-to-leave...

Like it or not the lads were found not guilty and it would have been best for all parties if they had been able to walk away under their own terms, knowing PJ's solicitor this will end up back in front of a judge if he hasn't already received a golden hand shake.

Wife was at the match and reckoned 24 protestors, way less than expected. Hoped they would take irfu to the cleaners for unfair dismissal but looks like they are going to go quietly. Exeter chiefs is the latest rumour?
Heard the Exeter rumor about 6 weeks ago. Might be something in it.Probably best for them to make a move and start with a clean slate.
