How do fans now feel about Mark Hughes

[dave58]

HATE the Welsh C*** he ruined our club cost us millions of £££££ buying Mercenaries who didnt give a S**T

[Del]

I'l tell what is ridiculous is your love in for man that wasn't up for the job of handling a newly promoted club that had no foundations laid in the playing staff .
when Hughs left what legacy did he leave none in fact one of his legacy's still remains HOILET yeah , you talk as tho he was better for QPR than Redknapp ! and you talk of redknapps spending 20m the club got their money back for Samba made a small profit on Remy as it stands at the moment Redknapps legacy is your 2 best players Austin and Phillips yeah Austin Phillips and Simpson all 3 never came for a combined fee nowhere near 10m what a massive fee that was wasn't it ?
Redknapps football left a lot to be desired to say the least but luck or judgement he did far better for QPR than hughs ever did

I'm not a fan of Hughes, and there's no "love in" as you so intelligently put it. I was simply highlighting the fact he didnt spend ridiculous amounts in the transfer windows as you and others state. That's a fact whether you like it or not! Most of the siginings were free transfers, loans or small amounts, the likes of Green, Nelson, Bosingwa, Hoilett, Park, Fabio, Cesar etc etc. I expect it was a direction given from the powers that be and they offered the silly contracts, not Hughes. When the season started poorly they spent on Granero and Mbia at the end of the window.

You can talk it up all you want, but that's what happened. Yes the outcome was a disaster, but to suggest he wasted millions is simply not accurate in comparison to any other club.

Also not sure what your point is on Austin and Phiillips.... I simply said Redknapp had big backing going into the championship, and again that is the case. Those players represented big investment going into that league compared to other clubs in the division. Many other managers would've walked that league with the squad at his disposal, and as for legacy, he got us relegated from the prem, was lucky to go up from the championship after finishing 4th with the best squad in the league, and was on track to get us relegated from the prem again.....

At no point have i said i rate Hughes, but i find it ludicrous that anyone can suggest Redknapp has been anything other than a massive let down also, regardless of our lucky escape last season. If people actually think we went up because of him, they are blinkered.

Liecester had a squad equal to ours ! probably with a better all round balance and just as expensive , but yes we should have gone up automatically
So you don't think Hughs had any responsibility for his part in Boswinga Park Cesar coming to the club ,Your bang on the money he brought Green in on a free but then wanted Cesar
free's or not he had an obligation to his employers get the players that were right for the club ,
I'm not putting any praise on Redknapp but there is no evidence any of his signings have been happy to sit out their contracts and take , not all his signings have been a success but I believe they all came with good intents for QPR , oh by the way Hoilet wasn't a free QPR paid Blackburn compo
it might not have been large but whatever it was it was too much

[Shepherds Mush]

I can officially state that I still think he is a c***!

[Hitman34]

Good manager. proved it at blackburn, fulham and now stoke. maybe there was some truth in the fact that tony put to much on him ie acadamy, harlington improvements etc. plus tony was the one that gave him the open checkbook.

it seems at stoke and fulham, the chairmen told hughes he had to work within a budget which he had done succsessfully. but city and us gave him all the money he needed and it went to his head. but like gerry francis at spurs. not hughes fault though.

I know Hoilett was a tribunal fee, hence said Frees, loans or small amounts..... As for bringing them in, obviously he suggested players, but he didnt offer them silly money to sign, that is down to the owners. Also on Hoilett, pretty much all our fans were chuffed to bits we were signing him because he was excellent the previous season at Blackburn and would cost next to nothing compared to his market value. The fact he's ultimately dissapointed wasnt foreseen at the time.

If it wasn't for Hughes making a mug of TF he might have splashed some cash this season and kept us up.

We are still feeling the legacy of that welsh C***

[stationcafe]

that's one hell of hell of a decent player for £2.5m, seeing as we ended up 14 points and 17 goals difference from safety... who was it - ronaldo or messi?

2.5M and 3M+ on wages could get you a decent player in any league. IMO our/Tony's biggest weakness was going for low fees and high wages, it just doesn't make sense.

Hughes didn't spend wisely but regressed that season after Arry came in. Del has talked a lot of sense but people believe what they want to so we're just gonna go round in circles here.

[stanistheman]

Same as I always have - no strong feelings either way. Obviously did not do very well for us but equally obviously is a competent Premier League manager.

He did not impress me in his time at QPR and his signings were mostly overrated, over priced and overpaid. He didn't come across as a good manager during his time at QPR, but as we can see is obviously better than his time at Loftus Rd would suggest.

Having said that, I don't like him because he refuses to accept any blame for that relegation (although Redkrapp had more than enough games to keep the team up).

[surrey_hoop]

I doubt anyone could've managed QPR at that time. TF was at his worst in 2012 for me, didn't have a clue what he was playing at. With that said, any manager who signs Rob Green and Julio Cesar in the same transfer window clearly didn't have a coherent plan either. Hughes is an excellent manager (his record speaks for itself), but he simply found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Deserved some of the flack that he copped, but certainly shouldn't be seen as the source of all our woes (as he is by some).

I think that Cesar/Park and maybe more were more Fernandes idea to increase the profile of this and his other businesses. Like you say in 2013 TF had less clue than what he has now.

[QPRDave]

Yeah, good one, the Wembley success was all courtesy of Harry. The team was appalling on the day and it was beyond lucky we won. But you pat Harry on the back for his brilliance why don't you. And you say I'm talking ####..

As for your comment about "my mate Mark" just because I highlight a few facts rather than usual BS, that pretty much sums up your level. Pathetic, but not surprising.

I don't think the team were appalling at wembley. we defended magnificently Green was superb when he was called upon which wasn't that often
bearing in mind derby's possession. Which imo shows the work the rest of the lads put in.
Bottom line del buck stops with the manager win or lose.....except strangely at QPR where fans like yourself blame him for defeats and congratulate the players after wins

Yeah, #hughesmate...... Good one. How ####ing old are you?

If you actually read anything I posted properly rather than jump on your juvenile bandwagon, you'd see at no point have I said anything positive about Hughes, yet apparently I'm his number one fan according to you..... All I said about Hughes was he didn't spend the untold £m's people like you suggest. If you could read you'd be able to look it up for yourself.

The fact I've slated Redknapp as being sh1te somehow is interpreted by you that I'm a fan of Hughes, which is just ridiculous. They can both have done a plss poor job for QPR you know.

As for the playoff final, you suggest I don't give Harry credit but congratulate the players.... When exactly did I do that? The performance was appalling, the outcome was lucky. Only a blind person could argue otherwise. Green and the defence do deserve massive credit, but that says all you need to know! We were awful and yes the way a team is selected and set up, and tactically inept is down to the manager so I do blame Redknapp first and foremost, but also many of the players didn't perform well either.

To suggest the outcome was down to Redknapp is hilariously stupid. Perhaps I should use your example with #harrysmate, #deluded, #cantseethewoodsforthetrees.

Point in case....
