Edinburgh in sorry state - but is there SRU ambition to fix them?

BBC Scotland's chief sportswriter Tom English has been answering some of your questions as Edinburgh continue to frustrate their fans and Glasgow carry on thrilling theirs.

Iain asked: The definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different outcome. What do Edinburgh have to do to change things around?
Tom answered: The vast majority of questions this week have come from disgruntled Edinburgh supporters, all along the same lines.
Jamie calls them turgid and says that at this rate nobody will be renewing their season ticket. Euan says this is the lowest the club has been. Dave says the absence of information and explanation as to why Sean Everitt's contract has been renewed betrays a lack of courage on behalf of the decision-makers at Murrayfield.
This is a recurring theme, isn't it? We discussed Edinburgh in some depth on the BBC Scotland Rugby Podcast this week. If you look back to the reasons given for Everitt getting a two-year extension they revolved around player development and his job of bringing through the next generation of talent.
Yes, that's part of it but not all of it. Franco Smith has done the development bit while being competitive in the URC and the Champions Cup. Edinburgh are miles off it. Miles.
There are precious few positives to support the decision to renew his deal. I'll be frank: he shouldn't have got one. Edinburgh were 10th when Everitt was given an extension and they're 13th now.
They have no real hope of making the top eight which, for me, is the minimum standard. It would be a miracle if they beat Leinster in the Champions Cup on Sunday. The first week of April and their season is as good as over.
They may change tack, accept this is nowhere near good enough and pay Everitt off, but I doubt it. There's no whispers to that extent. Not yet anyway.
I don't like talking this way because Everitt is a thoroughly decent human being who is trying extremely hard to turn this thing around, but it's not happening and I can't see it happening.
A new coaching regime is required. Smith at Glasgow is a heavy hitter and Edinburgh need somebody like him.
I'd be banging on the door of Michael Cheika, currently coaching in the NRL in Australia. Doesn't Scottish Rugby's performance director, David Nucifora, have a few contacts in his homeland?
Edinburgh is one of the great cities of Europe and its rugby team has so much potential. The job should be a very attractive one. This malaise is not good enough. The SRU need to show ambition for Edinburgh. You wouldn't blame fans for staying away if this carries on next season.
Ronald asked: Following our annual defeat to Ireland is it time for more heavyweight, aggressive forwards in the upcoming Nations Championship? Alex Samuel has been in incredible form recently and Josh Bayliss was seriously underused in the Six Nations.
Tom answered: Big Alex is a terrific player and you don't have to be Nostradamus to know his time is coming soon with Scotland. He has size and power and athleticism and skill. And he's only 23.
Glasgow are blessed with second-rows. Scott Cummings, Gregor Brown, Max Williamson. Alex Craig, the other Alex, Jare Oguntibeju - that's an extraordinary collection of locks. I want to see Samuel getting game-time in the summer with Tests against Argentina, South Africa and Fiji coming up. He looks ready to me.
As for Bayliss - he's a fine player. He got just over half an hour against Wales and the same against France. Maybe he should have played more but there are a lot of good players in there.
Jamie Ritchie and Matt Fagerson are excellent sixes and Gregor Brown is a terrific option as well. Jack Dempsey and Rory Darge are your mainstays in the back-row and there's massive competition for that other slot and the one on the bench. Bayliss is a very useful citizen to have around.
Ross asked: With Glasgow losing several key players at the end of this season, how important is it they recruit well and that they sign non-Scottish qualified players to cover during the Six Nations period?
Tom answered: They're already putting plans in place with the signing of Ruwald van der Merwe, the back-row from Pumas in South Africa. The 27-year-old spoke to Henco Venter before signing. If he's as good as Venter was then Glasgow are getting a fantastic player.
Glasgow have to keep going because they're losing a fair amount of star quality. The emphasis will always be on Scottish-qualified players and the promotion of talented academy players (and they have many) but they can't be slaves to that principle.
There has to be - and is - wriggle room to sign a non-qualified player if Smith is convinced he's the right guy.
I think we might see a few very recognisable faces coming into Glasgow for next season and maybe a few more, like Van der Merwe, who are not household names but will be critical when the Test lads are away.
