How does he work that one out?
Do you know what though,I do question wether we should have sacked Hughes when we did..

the trouble with Mark Hughes is that he probably did set up a whole bunch of things in the background that we never see that may well benefit the club either in the short or long run. Certainly this was something I bought into at the time and still wish the club would continue with - the training ground, the youth development, the scouting etc.

But the issue was not the Mark Hughes "project" - it was the on field and player purchasing stuff that he completely cocked up. And that's probably an understatement.

I have never figured out whether that was an aberration (because he has been pretty successful everywhere else) or just another bit of proof that QPR are a REALLY badly run club that even Bob Shankley and Cloughie with Wenger and Fergie as the management team wouldn't make a difference.

Why stop now, just when I'm hating it

Kia Joorabchian was his downfall. Although I'm sure no one forced him to sign off on the dirty two dozen.

At Stoke, the board approve and handle all transfer activities. I am not sure about City or Fulham, but at QPR, you have to wonder to what extent, Mr. Joorabchain was influencing things!

It was a time any charlatan could rock up to HQ, give some old pony to Cap'n Titanic and he would swallow it hook, line and sinker. Only thing is, the overwhelming majority of fans were all on the same page, this is not going to work but alas, we did not have the cheque book!!!

So the stability behind the scenes is all thanks to Hughes. Thanks.

I thought we should have kept him to the end of the season as it was his mess and up to him to sort it out. Pissed me off when he just waltzed off with a massive payout claiming none of it was his fault.

I share the general bemusement about this comment, but its quite interesting really. Ephraim was here at the time, before and even after so he's in a position to have an opinion. I don't see that he's got a particular axe to grind - if anything, I'd have thought Hughes was bad for him due to all the new players he brought, after Hogan had played a few games in the promotion season. He also struck me (e.g. from the 5 Year Plan film) as a pretty limited player but a decent sort of bloke who tried to do the right thing while craziness was bursting out all round.

So, while I don't see it myself, I'd love to know exactly what he means by it.

P.S. good shout on Gregory, I don't know how it would have worked if he had stayed on with access to a bit of a transfer budget, but I always felt he was harshly treated and never given a chance after having done well to stabilise things when he came back to the club.

All the gossip you read about that Taffia era was it was a horrible, poisonous atmosphere created by Hughes' legions of coaches and performance staff, and cretins like Mike Rigg ripping up the existing structures (in itself not a bad thing) and replacing them with even worse but massively micromanaged ones. Ephraim didn't exactly come across as the brains of Britain in the Four Year Plan so wouldn't take him as gospel.

John Gregory performed miracles to keep us in the championship , and was also the manager who signed Hogan on loan

Hughes is and always will be a kunt , fcuk him ,

And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles Brian Moore

Hughes has been done to death, but Hogan is several years too late, we went down, up and down again in the time since Hughes and the "Taffia", Rigg and Kia J not to mention some of the signings, anjd the goalkeepers fiasco.
