QPR need to stick with Hughes, says Rodney Marsh

[Stanley]

Former QPR forward Rodney Marsh believes QPR need stability if they are to fulfil their ambitions as a top-flight football club.

Speaking to The Sports Bar, Marsh said: “Two of the most successful teams over the past 20 years have been it’s Manchester United and Arsenal, with the trophies they have won, and they’ve had their managers for over 40 years combined.

Of course.

I have no desire to see yet another manager. All managers need time as do their players. But it seems to me that Hughes is making decisions that the vast majority of fans, on here at least, simply cannot understand. I personally just want him and the team to start performing somewhere close to the level that this squad should be. Then I would be very, very pleased with everything.

All I could say in MH's defence, and to back Rodney up, is that Hughes and his team spends every day with the squad on the training ground and therefore obviously knows their strengths, weaknesses, fitness levels, injury levels etc a great deal more than us fans who, however justifiably frustrated we have a right to feel, can only judge the performances on a match day (not to mention his and his staff's vast experience at the highest level of the game).

Oh god the last time Rodney interfered with our club we lost Gerry Francis and were relegated the following season.

After seeing that I cant see them getting rid of Hughes for the whole season, never mind the next 3 games.

Me too.

I don't want to have a go about Hughes, but he does need top start picking up points. Injuries have not helped, but some of his team selections and tactics are baffling. i.e. Park on the left, SWP starting ahead of Taarabt and Hoilett, Zamora as a lone striker etc.

QPR do not seem able to defend set pieces, and have no invention from any of their own either (what do they do in training).

Yes, it was Marsh and Thompson who drove out Francis and yes the decision almost certainly cost QPR their premiership place and had they stayed up, who knows what level they would be now...new rich owners (nothing wrong with the current ones, perhaps they would have bought the club instead of Chris Wright), new ground, stability, success?
