how long will sparky ceasefire last?????

[Franky Boy]

Many years ago Alex Ferguson was a cup final away from getting the sack. Had he lost that he'd have been gone. He didn't and Man Utd proceeded to become the most successful club in the English game. For his endeavours he was knighted.

MH is rebuilding the club from top to bottom and all that takes time. Although at times, like many, I've questioned his tactics, but he's the football man not any of us. I'm sure he'll get it right soon. We just need to be a little patient. I think we're just a few players short of having a superb squad. Maybe MH has tried to get certain players in but they wouldn't come. Remember the saga over Alex last season?

Time for cool heads guys.

Really hope you are right mate

If we beat Norwich:

"Wow Sparky is a great manager, hope he's with us for the next 10 years, Ilove him"

Lose to City:
"What a sh*t performace, Hughes out. Terrible tactics and wrong signings. We deserve better"

And so on...

Would battling relegation again but staying up be acceptable to most fans this season? If not why not?

17th will do me just dandy

[Cookie Monster]

For me, personally, no way.

So you'd only give him 5 games?

Which include away against Norwich (Never easy)

And then Man City (Away) Chelsea (Home) and Spurs (Away)?

Lets be honest here. We cant be Expecting THAT much more than a point from the next four games. Would take a point away at Norwich... and then we could easily not get anything from the next three. Thats not even beein THAT pessimistic.

But youd get rid Hughes because potentially... we had one rubbish game... do alright aginst Norwich and get a point... and then do as expected against the Champions league teams.

Wouldnt look good. But would still be bonkers to get rid of Hughes after that imo

What worries me is that he played Cisse up front for most of the game on his own!!

[Stanley]

i reacon he could be first out come mid september!!!

Reacon (sic) or hope?

Be honest old bean.

[Franky Boy]

i am very confident that hughes will sort all issues during the week with squad tactics and formations, you could see he was gutted after the game, so i think we will win against norwich and people are we forgetting last season! are team came alive against the top teams away to city last game on the seson 3-2 away to spurs i think 3-1 and at home to chelsea we won 1-0 and we now have relatively strengthened squad, we can and will do this, have some faith and patience, i cant see us having played 5 and only picked up 1 point, i recon we will have 4 or 5

Eh? Calm yourself down, I didnt say Id give him the bullet, I simply said that, no, 1 point from the opening 5 games is not good enough. No way on earth is it. Unless you had Utd, City, Spuds, Arsenal & Liverpool away the first 5 game, 1 point is a measly total. Where have you got this idea I'd give Hughes the bullet? Talk about jumping to conclusions, christ almighty.
Look at the players we've signed and the squad we have, 1 point in 5 games would be pathetic IMO, especially when those 5 games include playing 2 sides most QPR fans had said, before the seaosn started, would be relegation contendors.
Would any fan really be happy with 1 point in the opening 5 games?

Staying up is the most important thing no matter how we get there

Sorry. Jumped the gun. I assumed not good enough from the manager would mean he should get the sack.

But I still think although 1 point would be bad it wouldnt be a disaster. Lets just hope we mug off Chelsea at home again

Amen. But im not so sure how many fans would take that. If we look like gettin dragged into the dogfight again. How long before fans start callin for Sparkys head?

No worries pal

I have alot of faith in Sparkie and think he is certainly the right man for the job - Saturday was, I hope, just a very bad day at the office. He showed us back end of last year what he is capable of as gaffer.
He must know that the defence isnt upto scratch and I fully expect at least 1 defender to sign before transfer deadline day.
Im sure we will nick a win against either Citeh, Chelski or Spuds. On paper, we should lose them all, but this is QPR we are talking about, we dont seem to follow the expected trends!
here's hoping to the season getting started Saturday.... Fingers crossed!

Obviously. The 'but staying up' bit could be a big assumption if we simply can't defend, and our lack of ability to do so on a consistent basis has still not been addressed.

But please explain why Hughes should be given more time than Warnock, apart from the fact that his contract means he'd be more expensive to ditch? Under Hughes we escaped by the skin of our teeth, and we've started (inc pre season) by looking even less secure than we were at City.
