Posted this on another thread but it got a bit lost in the minor insult trading
I think Hughes is a good appointment for you and would be shocked if he didn't keep you up. I personally think he has more authority than Warnock and will be able to discipline your boys well. The type of thing Warnock did with Traore on the touchline where he embarrassed him in front of everyone after his second booking would never happen with Hughes. He earns the players' respect and they then respect him. He can be quite ruthless though if he doesn't like a player. Paintsil was good for us the year before but he didn't like him so dropped him for good, but on the whole he made good decisions.
He also got us playing good football contrary to expectations; we all thought he'd emphasise the physical side of the game but we ended up winning the fair play league. He did show plenty of passion on the touchline though (unlike Roy) and this went down well and was sometimes quite funny (such as when he cupped his ear at the Stoke fans and kicked, tried to kick a water bottle at Mick McCarthy and slapped Mancini's hand). He's a bit sensitive though, and beware that he will have been waiting for Fernandes et. al to make big promises so that some time in the future, if he needs to, he can say 'my experiences have not matched up to what was promised by the board' and walk away. That said, I think he's an honourable guy and when he did walk away, at least he did it at the end of his contract and not mid season.

Considering what Warnock did for QPR, he was always going to be a hard act to follow.
If results pick up and we get through the next half a dozen games with a good number of points in the bag and we then stay up, then it will really be a case of 'the king is dead, long live the king'.
Most non-QPR people I speak to seem to think he's a good appointment. I hope they, and yourself, are correct and he does the business.

I heard he didn't take out an escape clause in the contract, must have been some seriously big roll of notes offered. | | | |

I have full faith in Hughes, but his 'agent' terrifies me.
Will turn his head as soon as any sort of success arrives at QPR. |  | | |
