After Clive's match report where he said that Hughes was possibly the worst manager we've ever had, what do you think?
Given the resources and time, I'd say...
Yes! [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Does Paul Hart not get an honorary mention? It was only a month but the team that went out against Peterborough was something to forget and was easily the lowest period of that silly season. |
I'd forgotten that, I was there at Peterborough. The team sheet itself was shyte. The performance that day was truly awful.
But then again, so were most of the performances under Hughes.
I'm convinced we stayed up because the Championship players ignored him and just got on with it their way.
In fact, under his "stewardship", the game at Man City last year was probably the most exciting ever seen. He had Fitz Hall to do with it, the players just got on with it, especially when Barton went off. They were magnificent then. |  |

Mullery was the worse by a country mile he was the pits . I personally didnt think Wilkins wasn't thar a bad manager in getting what he had playing there best for him . The only trouble was he brought crap and kids came in too early at the top level. Houston and Ricock were the bigger disasters IMO but getting back to Hughes never liked him from start to finish I wish we had kept faith with warnock. |  | | |

He didnt sign Dyer. Warnock did. |
He extended his contract, for one year. |  |

Dreadful though I thought Harford and Burtenshaw were, I think its between Mullery and Hughes, cos as Watford rightly says Mullery inherited a team that could have challenged for the title and screwed it right up, and Hughes was given massive resources and didn't really need to do much more than get into lower mid-table to be ranked a success.
Plus, look how much better the same players are under Redknapp. That's not just the old Champ players such as Derry, Hill and Mackie but also the likes of Mbia Onuaha and even SWP.
It's a tough call but the fact that Hughes made a small fortune out of us purely for getting lucky last season swings it for me |
This.
Bottom 3 for me:
Mullery
Hughes
Burtenshaw
As been mentioned previously, Mullery for turning UEFA cup qualifiers into relegation candidates in 6 months.
Hughes for spunking tens of millions on old, sh1t mercenaries and not winning a single away game in 118 attempts.
Burtenshaw for relegating a team that still had Parkes, Gillard, Clement, Hollins, Francis and Sir Stanley in it (not to mention Roeder and an emerging Goddard). |  |

I think Mullery shades it with Hughes a close second. Strangely I hated both before they even started. Hart is unlucky, he showed enough promise to suggest he could win the award outright, but just wasn't given enough time. |  |

Whilst I've already voted for Hughes, I'd like an honorary mention for Frank Sibley. He took Dave Sexton's team and turned us into relegation fodder in a pretty short space of time. |  |

Not sure why having the most money to spend makes him the worst manager.
would Mullery or Hart have kept us up last season with twice as much to spend?
Did he have the most to spend anyway, or was he told to spend on wages rather than fees? |
No doubt at all that, say, P Hart was rubbish, but even if he'd been Brian Clough reincarnated he couldn't have done much with the ownership being as it was.
Hughes had no-one to blame but himself - ditto Mullery really because although he had no cash he didn't have to spend.
But its true that having cash to spend brings its own problems. E.g. Wilkins had a pot to spend after selling Sir Les but he had to replace three players with it - namely himself in central MF, Ferdinand up front [though obviously he hoped Gallen and Dichio would do the job for no transfer fee] and Stejskal in goal, who still hadn't been replaced from a couple of years before. If Thompson had given him nothing we'd probably see Wilkins as a decent bloke who never had a chance. | | | |

Yes.
Pound for pound the worst manager.
He waltzed in last January with us hovering above relegation and was given a blank chequebook to keep us up. He signed Zamora, Onouha, Cisse, Diakite. Of that lot only Cisse and Diakite for 2 games made a positive contribution to our survival fight. In the end he turned to Hill, Derry, Mackie and Taarabt to save us after his signings were hit and miss.
Regardless we stayed up... just. He achieved the absolute bare minimum considering the money he had spent.
Then came the summer. Once again given an absolute pot load of cash, more than any QPR manager ever. Sensible scouting and due diligence could have secured us Diame, Michu, Ki, Olsson etc etc. Instead Hughes decided that older players on big money for low transfer fees was the answer. Yes players like Rodriguez at Soton cost a lot of money, but their low wages mean that over time they are nowhere near as expensive as Zamora.
Pre season was a joke. Helguson, Campbell, Smith all sold or loaned out because their faces didn't fit with the new shiny QPR. Replaced with old, disinterested players.
He wasn't unlucky that Zamora and Johnson got injured, anyone with a brain could have told you that they were injury prone. I could have told you that paying Hoillet 80 grand a week would kill his desire and drive. I could have told you that signing a keeper then replacing him after 1 game would kill off any loyalty in the squad. I could have told you that making a brand new player club captain over the previous player of the season and dedicated pro was a cause for unrest. I could have told you that Djibril Cisse was good if completely unreliable.
Hughes believed his own hype. He forgot to build a cake and just threw a load of icing on a plate. Make no mistake he will set the club back 10 years unless we perform a miracle and survive. No manager has ever ruined our club like Hughes has.
Mark Hughes is the worst manager in our history |

Did Hughes decide that in fact?

Tricky one
1) Mullery - handed a Rolls Royce, proceeded to drive it into the nearest tree
2) Hart - handed a stuttering Fiesta, proceeded to drive it into the ground until knackered
3) Hughes - handed a perfectly workable if a bit basic Citroen, proceeded to dismantle it rather than drive it
All crap in their different ways. Just pray that Hughes hasn't destroyed our wonderful club :( |  | | |

For sheer arrogance and the inability to take responsibility for what has happened, yes, it has to be Hughes.
I’m still waiting to hear "his side of the story”. And when we do, it will make even the mildest of us seethe...

Because being free and able to bring in the players you want and feel will fit your system should make the job easier. |  | | |
| Hughes - worst ever Y/N on 22:50 - Jan 14 with 823 views | Hunterhoop |
Exactly.
Hughes was given everything he wanted. He then proceeded to make us worse than we were before.
It's got to go down as one of the most astoundingly bad use of resource in football history, let alone QPR.
Add in the fact that Hughes is a massive, arrogant tw*t and the players all hated him and you've got a truly appalling "manager". |  | | |

Hughes by far the worst in my span (relatively) ATAF
I've felt nothing but man love for TF save for one hideous pock mark and that's not dispatching with Sparkless after the West Ham game
The six pointers that followed were crying out for another man at the helm.
I hope Hughesless gets another job and darkens the doors of W12 again
We will wait for you Mark, we WILL wait......... |  |

I never thought I would see a Rs manager as bad as Mullery, even if I lived for a thousand years.
Stewart Houston was close but Mullery retained his position on pole.
Step forward M Hughes. It was always going to take something special to oust Mr Mullery - but you have done it pal - and done it with bells and whistles on.
Simply the worst.
Not sure about your honesty either.
A very expensive learning curve for TF.

Ill vote for Flavio Briatore seen as he was manager in all but title. Paul Hart for his 5 games?
In all seriousness it has to be Hughes for the sheer mess he left the whole club in not just the team. |  | | |

Ray Harford and Ray Wilkins spring to mind, Hughes had a far too high opinion of himself, I was really pleased when he signed up as well. |  | | |

Any chance the next time one of the players is in the podcast we can actually ask them what Hughes tactics were for away games? I'd love to know. Cause we didn't defend,didn't attack. The only thing we done was consistently come away with no points.

No, i don't think he is the worst.
He kept us up last season, which Warnock wouldn't have done. So if we hadn't have appointed Hughes, then we wouldn't have a chance of staying up this season either because i reckon we'd be down already.
Wilkins, for starters, must be worse than Hughes was.
|
Wrong,I think. Warnock was not given the time and money thrown at Hughes. MH was bad from day one.Did the fans ever sing his name? Never!He wrecked our team like no other,we are fortunate to have a manager now who will do his damndest to get us back on track. |  |
| At my age I should not be doing this! |

Hughes; beyond comparison. Eclipses my own bete noire, Wilkins, in that the amount of money Hughes spunked against the wall makes Wikins look like the kid who spent the money for his mum's Woodbines on sherbet dabs and a Beano.
I am still gobsmacked by the chasm between his bullshit reputation and the abysmal performance. The damage that he did to this club was devastating, and still is.
I honestly don't think the bloke had the faintest idea what he was doing. Aaaaaarrrgh! |  |

Without a doubt Hughes is the worst ever IMHO.
Of the other contenders:
Mullery - I was about 13 when he was appointed and even then knew he would be terrible. had a track record of relegation and failure and would surely have taken us down if they had not got rid of him. We had a good team but also a great coach in Venables who had got the best out of them.
Houston/Rioch - Therein lies the problem. The decision to appoint both and then reverse their positions at Arsenal was always going to be hard to make work. For a while they did ok but the signing of Mike Sheron was the beginning of the end. A player who wasn't really even a striker signed on the back of one prolific season at Stoke for a then record fee.
Harford - Inherited a rotten situation and team but at least avoided the drop.
Hart - Useless but not around long enough to be seriously compared with the others.
Hughes - For his arrogance alone he tops the lot. Sees himself as some sort of master tactician and sports scientist yet sends out the sort of rabble that made West Ham look like Barcelona. My first chance to be at a game in a decade and I was so looking forward to it, his ineptitude ruined it for me with Taarabt's moment of genius and just being back in the stadium again the only high points. B@stard. If still here I'm sure he would be spouting the same nonsense about meticulous preparation. Divided the squad. Was given money and time, failed miserably but would never admit it. | | | |

Loving the piece in the press about Michael Johnson who has bigger moobs than Kate Moss sitting around on his 25k a week 5 year deal. Who would be silly enough to offer him that at such a young age?????? The article clarified that point, guess who???? |  | | |
