He got us out of it last year and has a habit of starting seasons poorly. Foolham won two matches before Christmas in his first year in charge and were in the bottom three - they finished eighth.
Now we have to pay him and his entourage the best part of £10 million, while 'onest 'arry washes up with his new entourage licking their lips.
I just fear this was a bit of a knee jerk reaction after 'onest 'arry's clever manipulation of the media the past couple of weeks.
Also, there appears to be a feeling that after Man U our next three games are 'easy'. I don't think so. |  | | |  |

More than enough time. Clearly.

No manager, whatever the level, can continuously afford dreadful starts to a season on the scale that has happened to Mark Hughes throughout his career. And that's very different to a "slow start" that you would normally associate with someone like Everton.
You can't afford to write off between a quarter and a third of a season, and Hughes already started poorly from January where he won just one in eight. That was his poor start, it should not have repeated regardless of what transfer activity he did in the summer as he had an entire pre-season to prepare them properly.
The club however has to take some responsibility for the trip to Asia, which turned into a total disaster. I had hoped that there was something somewhat more clever going on beneath the surface with that, and that they'd use it as an opportunity to do some very serious training but it turned into a silly PR exercise that didn't benefit the team in any shape or form.
Sadly it's been a bit of a train wreck from the word go. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

end of!
2 transfer windows and amssive player overhaul; complete fukk up. Given longer it would have got worse.
In fact; given too much time. |  | | |

How much time do you think he should have got? How much more time would you have endured his arrogance, incompetence and self denial that nothing was his fault?
He was very lucky to have lasted as long as he did. What he did or didn't do at other clubs is immaterial. He failed miserably at QPR and he didn't want to admit it. Those bombastic words he spoke at the Etihad Stadium last season will no doubt haunt him forever. |  |

That’s right 8 wins in 34 games is a "knee jerk reaction", if only we'd given him time to prove himself [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

To say he got us out of it is a massive over complement.We scraped it, and as for more time,there is no doubt the team are getting WORSE not better! I still hope its not Rednapp but anyone with some flair ,experience & a personality will do. |  |

Well this is going to be Hughes's defence isn't it?
Something along the lines of:- If only QPR had the vision to match my ambition and given me to Xmas they would have seen the glory start to unfold. True, we had problems, but the season was always planned meticulously, and our training intensity was on a rising trajectory week in week out .
Er, no. End of. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

As a lovely old posh Fulham fan said to some bloke doing interet interviews on the way into your place, last season, "One must always beware hubris".

No away wins under Sparky, EVER. That says it all for me. I think we stayed up last season in spite of, not because of him.
I'm just glad his miserable cloud is pissing off to rain somewhere else. |  | | |

Certainly until January, then we could have had another look at it. Let us face it, the team is crap and a new manager is not going to change that. | | | |

He is in charge 10 months. We haven't won since Stoke last season. Haven't won away since he was appointed. Signed a lot of has been's. Team morale low and performances to match. Need I go on.... |  | | |

Some people never learn! We heard all this when you appointed Hughes, signed Park, Zamora, Bosingwa, Cisse, Cesar etc...why don't you wait and see what happens before you start larging it again?

Jim - JIM - Hughes put the team together. How does your point make any sense at all? | |

If Hughes invested in 2/3 players this season and we were in the bottom 3 I wouldnt be calling for his head. However, he bought in 12/13 new faces over the past 12 months and spent £££££ on wages.
What we needed at the start of the summer:
LB, RB, CB
RM
Striker
What we got was:
2 Keepers
4 Defenders
3 Midfielders
1 Striker
He got rid of a keeper that was doing OK
He got rid of a player who scores with his head who could replace Zamora
He loaned out a natural poacher who could replace Cisse

I think most people are stunned at just what a sh it job he's done for your lot. He did fine with us - wasn't able to spunk too much cash and didn't bring in many players, which was maybe a good thing. Most whites I know thought you'd be comfortably mid-table this season.
He did okay at FFC, but Jol was our first choice when we got Hughes, and I'm much happier with him at the Cottage; better coach and a likable bloke. | |
