Yeah, bothma wasn't great and wasn't a big loss when he left,
but doesn't mean he wasn't treated badly all the same
Kingston was over promoted and it was a shame to see his
involvement at quins end how it did
Gustard I was pleased to see the back of and his legacy at quins
was not a good one

Apart from a few signings.

He might have made a few good signings but he created an unhappy
squad and a toxic atmosphere. The knock on effect is an equally
dissatisfied supporter base.

The best thing about Gustard is that his departure created such
a wave of joy from the players, the rest of the coaching team
and the fans that it spurred the team on to glory that season!

Actually, when you look at a number of the players comments both
at the time and afterwards, some of them (including key players
like Danny, Joe, etc) were quite sorry to see Gustard go. He
hadn't really lost the dressing room per se, just that the
players were just not on the same page as him in terms of
tactics & couldn't make it work.

Wasn't he regarded as overcomplicating everything to the point
that no-one was quite sure what he was after?

I think it was more that he was trying to control too much
himself - a classic mistake for someone taking a big step up in
leadership - and failing to delegate to everyone else. Care in
particular has spoken about how the players felt they had to
step up and show that they could take accountability for
performance after "a good man lost his job."

You do have to take some of the players comments with a pinch of
salt though.
They will rarely come out and say that the old coach was
rubbish. Basically, they don't really want to burn their bridges
as they may end up wanting to go and play for a team that has
some connection to them (e.g. Marchant at SF).

Not sure many people in any profession want to work for a
terrible manager again

Was it not the rumours swirling around Marcus Smith threatening
to leave that convinced Quins to get shot of Gustard?
