At last even of they took their time - farewell to arguably the worst coach in QPR's history - I will certainly not look back at the Hughes era with many fond memories.

But yet again, I ask: What went wrong...

Hughes did not flop at Blackburn or Fulham - and even at Man City, wasnt that bad...


And most of us - very especially - ME! Expected us to have a very good season this year

There for that one as well Baz.

Was there when that slag Hughes cheated and got Macca sent off!

Was under the flag prior to the cup game, Paul Ince etc, When Sir Les should have broken Schmiecal's (sp) arm. How did he stop that?

Not forgetting the song that citeh thanked us for and adopted. ;D

[blatantfowl]

I thought Hughes was a decent appointment. I supported him and wanted him to succeed.

But todays announcement feels like I have had a boil lanced!

Simple. He never took over a side involved in relegation before.

He's a master of status quo.

[Macmoish]

Missed your chance...!

First they took his name off

Then they removed the photo of Hughes and Bhatia and replaced it

Next up will be updating the "Potted History of QPR" which currently ends at:

However, after an alarming slide in form over the festive period and then into the New Year, the Rangers board opted to replace Warnock as Manager with Mark Hughes.

Stellar signings such as Djibril Cisse and Bobby Zamora followed the Welsh boss through door. However, although Hughes won his first home league fixture in charge, QPR still struggled for form.

"The Hoops wouldn’t win away from Loftus Road for the remainder of the campaign – but they survived thanks to a run of outstanding results at home towards the end of the season.

Wins over Liverpool, Swansea City, Arsenal, Tottenham and Stoke in Rangers’ final five league fixtures in W12 saw the R’s retain their top-flight status, with optimism at an all-time high heading into the 2012/13 season."

Yeah, that's my concern. I don't particularly want Redknapp but I'd concede that if any manager on the market has the track record (bar Southampton) of getting aging mercenaries to fight then it's him. But there are a wide range of professional failings in the squad that go well beyond Hughes (not disagreeing he should have gone - he had to go). I guess I'm more concerned about the state of QPR in two years time after Redknapp's reign than now - but that's a whole other debate that will no doubt come up on here when things calm down a bit.

Looking positively, we probably have more chance of staying up compared to where we were a few days ago. But under no illusions that with the mentality of a good chunk of our players, it's going to be a real fight.

It's a bit crass, but it hard to disagree with much from this mirror article:
