TF won't sack Hughes unless we are in real danger of relegation...

[bushkangaroo]

But...I worry why he signs so many crocks. Good players, but worthless to us if they can't play much. Taarabt should start if fit..always. Strong and rides tackles. Hughes knows so much about football ie scouting, training facilities, but I doubt he is much of a motivator unlike Holloway/Warnock. He doesn't know his best side. And with Hughes its hard to see us picking points up away from home. Where's Traore? Is he really injured?

[Busheyboy]

he didn't sign Traore, Dyer, Ferdinand, Taraabt, did he?
However, we might as well blame him for their injuries.
As far as away form goes, we lost at Spurs, coutrtesy of a flukey own goal and some superb goalkeeping by Friedel
I assume you weren't there and saw how well we played

There will come a point when the board will have to take a view. Pray god they do it sooner rather than later.

So if we sack Hughes, who do we bring in?

[vespa]

Its too early to judge, weve got to be patient and give the players a chance to gel as a team ,just my opinion.

You're exactly right mate- it's just some 'fans' want us to be in the Champions League spots already.

I was getting excited about Aziz Ben Askar, Dominic Foley and Alex Bonnot not so long ago, so I'm more than happy to be patient. If we weren't playing well, i'd be concerned, but in actual fact we're playing some of the best stuff I've seen us play in years. 1 win will lead to many more.

[hal9thou]

The key question then is how long. Bear in mind that Hughes has had one window and one summer already to do business in.

So if we sack Hughes like you want to- who do we bring in?

Not at all. The reason I dont like MH is because he is a numpty. It has nothing to do with Champions League or where we currently are.

[MYU]

You don't like him because he is a "numpty"... yeah great reason to remove him.

Some people would sack MH and bring in a new manager, some don't even know who they would replace him with?

Give the new manager a few games and sack him to, after we don't pick up points.

I don't want to see the club go into debt and lower down the league again.

dont forget Doudou, Leroy Griffiths and Brett Angell!!!

As for signing crocks, Fabio, Ferdinand & Bosingwa have all pulled hamstrings, that doesn't make them crocks. The only signing I would question might be the one of Johnson who has had a torrid time with injuries.

As for Taarabt & Traore, if it is true about them walking out of the City match to make their own way home, perhaps they are serving some sort of club ban as a punishment which will hopefully come to an end soon. Traore is needed at left back and Taarabt can replace Mackie and SWP in the starting line up.

I can think of a couple of candidates. But let's not get into debating their merits because the mere mention of one of them causes even more irrational comment than mention of Hughes ;)

What Hughes supporters haven't said, is just how much time they'd give him.... The board have repeatedly stated that relegation is not an option. The spectre of that is why NW went. Therefore employing someone as manager who is unable to secure points on a regular basis becomes untenable - you can't have it both ways.

So if the Hughes miracle doesn't happen - when? At what point is enough enough? Would you see us go down under Hughes? I'm being completely serious here, not having a dig. It is reasonable to discuss this given Hughes record at our club to date.

[DouDou_87]

OK- We won't go down under Hughes.

How much time? By Christmas we will have moved up the table so we won't need to be talking about sacking him anymore. Personally for a 2nd season in the Premier League, I'm happy with anywhere between 10-16th, just as long as the club seems to be progressing. Look at Stoke for the benchmark.

I bet many of their fans wanted Pulis out after a dodgy start to their 2nd season. We, more than any club, need stability. Keeping Hughes will give us that and in turn help us to build.

True, but QPR have played 5 games and the only disappointing performance and result was the opening day against Swansea.

Let's see where QPR are after 12 games before we judge him.

I seem to recall that when Gerry Francis started his 1st spell as Manager, QPR had failed to win any of the 1st 8 games and broke the run with a 3-1 home win over Everton in October. QPR went on to finish in the top half. I wont be surprised if we see a similar scenario with Hughes (only this is not the strt of his reign, it is the start of the season with 'his' squad.

Yet you are happy to debate Hughes flaws?
