Not a surprise given their form and inconsistency.

Return for O’Shea perhaps, or maybe a return for Lancaster to these shores

[Robespierre]

Maybe Mallinder?

Cocker?

Hoorah, finally the man has seen some sense. Lancaster possibly as he has worked with a lot of Harlequins and seemed to be a favourite of his. Mallinder? No. O’Shea? No. I reckon they might get someone from New Zealand (you know the deal between NZRU and Quins). Do you think that Rowntree is safe?

I would imagine Rowntree, Evans and Easter could all be at risk

I think the Quins /All Blacks link up is a good shout. Expect a strong kiwi influence on the new coaching setup there.

Easter is definitely at risk because Quins defence has been Super Rugby-style nonexistent but I’d keep Rowntree and Evans, when Harlequins have played well they have scored some good tries plus Evans is a great mentor for Marcus Smith. I’d imagine Mark Mapletoft is going to go

[JP14]

Not that anyone on here would care particularly but I have a sneaky suspicion that Harlequins’ deal with Adidas is also unlikely to be renewed/terminated.

Re. John Kingston, it's always sad to see the Peter Principle hurt someone's career. Most of us will readily accept promotion when, in reality, we should say "No - I've reached my level of competence; I'm good at what I do but don't promote me."

Hope he gets back to doing what he's best at!
