How to solve a problem like Harlequins – Andy Goode

Andy Goode argues that Harlequins' current struggles stem from missteps at the top of the club rather than just recent on-field performances. Following a 48-0 loss at Kingsholm against Gloucester, Goode highlights the club's steady decline since their 2021 Premiership title, warning that their upcoming visit to Sale represents a critical fixture.

Goode contends that chief executive Laurie Dalrymple and the recruitment department have failed to properly replace key departures over recent years. While noting injuries to Marcus Smith, Fin Baxter, and Alex Dombrandt, Goode maintains that poor squad planning and mismanagement leave Quins facing a difficult season.
