    It's finally happened, Mark Hughes has had his contract terminated.

    Timing very coincidental with Harry's "I'm off to the Ukraine" bluff.

    Yep, Harry will get the job for sure. No way is he actually going to Ukraine.

    That's going to upset a lot of people... Who had bets on him to go first. Particularly considering QPR pointlessly delaying it so any new/caretaker manager will have to come in and take charge of the United game with absolutely zero preparation.

    How long until Harry is unveiled then? Why else would you sack Hughes the day before the Man Utd game citing 'the results leaving the board of directors with very little choice' when they haven't lost a game since Saturday, plenty of time to sack him before now.

    Well that was inevitable. QPR fans will be hugely relieved.

    Strange timing. Suspect Harry will take the job. Having failed to get Spurs in the relegation zone, he sees another chance to continue his fine tradition.

    I was hoping he would last a bit longer for our sake.

    So, in the end, the media were right when they dubbed last Saturday's match "El Sackico"!

    Neil Ashton reporting that Sunday will be Harry's first day in the job.

    I guess it's no coincidence that this has happened just days after Harry was talking about the Ukraine job. Him and his agent knew what they were doing then, and QPR have gone for it.

    Betting suspended on 'arry's next club. Bad news for us really.

    Although, he didn't save us, so loet's hoping he won't work any miracles at QPR.

    Nigel wasn't even one of the first two PL managers to get sacked. Shows what the media and betting sites know.

    Well they were right that if Hughes lost he was gone, but if we lost Nige would have been fine.

    Well, we'll actually never know for certain obviously. But I agree with you that he probably wouldn't have gone.

    It's funny, because all the pundits I've seen talking about him on TV have pretty much reflected the views of Saints fans that there's no way Adkins could be sacked so soon after what he's done in the last 2 years. I don't understand how the bookies came to such a different conclusion.

    Re-enter the parasite.

    No doubt his cock dribble son made a ton at the bookies again.

    Parasites.
