My support for Hughes?! It comes from being a lifelong Qpr supporter who has seen the good, the bad and the ugly.
Hughes took over a team that was fractured and heading towards relegation, he brought in some good players and despite some of those players trying their best to screw things up with a hatful of red cards, he still kept us up by the skin of our teeth.
He continues to buy some quality players, the like of which would never have joined under warnock. But the fact remains we've had 3 teams in the space of a year, but the new team has only played two games, 2!!!! If anyone thinks that a team should be playing like brazil after 2 games need to take a look at history and see if there are any teams brought together who have performed after 2 games.
But having been a fan for so many years, I remember what it was like going from a poor team to a winning team. Under venables, Jim smith and Gerry Francis, it all took time and we reaped the success of those managers having time to build a team. But back then fans tended to support the team come what may. If a player played badly, you groaned, but you still supported them and cheered that bit harder to give them confidence. Yet we seem to have acquired fans that seem to think that in 5 years from being close to liquidation we now deserve to be challenging for the top places after 2 games with a new team.
It doesn't matter if we only sign 1 player to go in to the team, that 1 player needs time to settle, let alone all the players we've signed. So it will take time, but it all counts for nothing if we get rid of the manager after 2 games. What do we get then? A new manager with a squad full if players who bought in to MH way of thinking and now a new manager who will have to rebel, yet again. Where would that leave us? Better off or back to the days under briatore where a team if good players were heading down the league at a rate of knots?
Good job Man Utd didn't sack fergie after his first season when he'd spent an unheard of amount buying all the best players, who were languishing in the bottom half of the table and nearly knocked out of the cup by 3rd division opposition. He wouldn't have got his knighthood after winning everything. Why? Cause the board stuck by him and the rest is history.
So before calling for the bad times again and sacking managers at the drop of a hat, grow a pair and look through history to see if Rome was built in a day.
