Long list of woes here and, sadly, they are all valid. I am going to cheat and say that the worst thing he did was not producung a team that was capable of winning games - particularly the winnable home games like Reading. harry did this with the same players at his disposal.
My thoughts exactly. I'd have had respect for him holding up his hands, admitting mistakes and trying something new. Blaming others achieves nothing.
Raising my expectations, I started to believe in him which was a fatal mistake. But he did contribute to us staying the the premiership last year.
This! - and the single worst thing he did was stay as manager after the Swansea game. and for DT.......yes I also believed he was a solid choice at the time, I guess I saw the writing on the wall earlier......but this wound has healed now so let´s give Harry our support 100% because we have a big battle on our hands.
I stuck up for MH far too long. I had enough of the 'manager merry go round' and wanted stability. I did not want us to become a laughing stock because we sacked managers every month. However MH let us all down. Remember that was his team. TF and the board supported him with money and time but he was not good enough. Like Roy Keane he was a good player but a crap manager. He could cost us more than bad results and relegation and to think we paid his contract for failing makes me sick. Lets hope Arry can turn this around and keep us up.
He did a lot of wrong to QPR but for me the worst thing is that he didn't resigned and he continued receiving money for leaving the club at the rock bottom

The bile on here back then and at the matches I was at was dreadful IMO. He was the nearly man who paid the price of course but he deserves some credit for our squad.
I was surprised when TF landed someone of Hughes' calibre even though I wasn't sold on how much of a success he'd been previously as a manager. Far too many "Obviously we are dissappointed with the result but we hope to build on the positives and come back stronger" sort of quotes, the same mealy mouthed press conference and post match interview nonsense every week got on my wick. He could have just as easily have said "That was the worst performance I have seen since coming here (or since last week) and I expect to make changes with immediate effect. If those players think that they are going to get away with that next week they have another thing coming" I would have been comfortable keeping Hughes if I knew he'd be bollocking the players for lack of effort, school boy mistakes and no heart. A club like QPR can't go around singing 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life' and hoping that the next game will be better without decent leadership. Harry has his faults I'm sure but I hope that at least he is the kind of bloke who'd square up to a lazy bastard and tell him to his face that he's useless. What has been reported about Bootswinger and the departure of Cisse indicates he's no mug.

The bile on here back then and at the matches I was at was dreadful IMO. He was the nearly man who paid the price of course but he deserves some small credit for our squad and for getting the very players that fans wanted. Now it seems we have the luxury to slag off SWP and Park for example with such a pretentious whim that it turns my stomach .... Has Harold got rid of them ... no why? they are very good players. OK Hughes has gone so what he deserved it of course but stock check yourselves FFS
Really good points IMO maybe Hughes doesn't have that style in him and he paid the price and no one has seen him since? anyone ever think how he has taken the failure? dwell everyone dwell i am sure he wanted to succeed
I'm told he bites his nails - filthy habit. He had to go because we were in a downward spiral and he could not handle it, but although he was charisma free I don't feel the hate others seem to. Nothing in his record to indicate this would happen, in fact the opposite - all teams he's managed except us improved their league position under him, no blame attached to TF. Of course the best thing he did was provide a hate figure for those fans who just have to have one, prefer the negative energy to the positive. By the looks of this thread in that he is just the gift that goes on giving.
You are way off the mark DT if you truly believe that we were playing mid-table standard football in the other games I have made bold. As for hatred...well nobody should be hated for not being able to do their job, Hughes was hated because he could not see, nor recognise his failings hence most people on here thought he was delusional and he believed that the blame lay elsewhere.
THIS!!... Mainly Same goes for Rigg, Bowen and the the other cronies as they are all culpable. Long list to do with his transfer policy but easy ones to pick out: - Picking a 25 man squad with just 3 injury prone strikers whilst clearing out DJ and Heidar - Justifying sending Young to the reserves and sigining Bosingwa. Wage outlay alone makes that crazy. -Picking Ephraim in the 25
STOCKHOLM SYNDROME "is a psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy, sympathy and have positive feelings towards their captors, sometimes to the point of defending them" Only possible explanation
Well the debate must go on what games were what. I would straight away strike off your Norwich, Reading Everton and West Ham games: We were on the wrong side of some results so sorry i don't think i am off the mark by all means record the games you have mentioned back to us all with the reasons Hughes got it wrong and not the players? Please also identify the bad luck or good luck for the opposition during these games we had
RANGERS SYNDROME A totally fickle phenomenon where the fans demands a win at all costs from a side that has been put together. Unable to sees the positives they experience delusions of granure and completely forget where their football club has come from. The infection spreads until the patience is unable to watch a single QPR game without moaning about the team... very similar to Villa Fever but without the terrible speech impediment
