Francis: Hughes’ results mean he should expect to be under fire
Former QPR boss Trevor Francis believes current manager Mark Hughes can have no complaints about the pressure he is under.
Disgruntled fans want Hughes out following a dismal run that has seen the team fail to win a league match this season.
And Francis told Sky Sports News: “If you haven’t won a game and it’s the middle of November, you expect to be under pressure.
“I think Mark expected his team to do better. They were desperately close to getting relegated last season and Mark actually predicted that he would never be in that position again – but that’s where they find themselves.
“I’ve watched QPR live twice this season and on both occasions I was somewhat disappointed with the manner in which they defended.
“Until they start keeping clean sheets they’re going to have huge problems.”

qpr fans had the misfortune of a gullible chairman and a completely inept and talentless manager joining forces. al fayed had the right idea at fulham and kept a tight hold of the pursestrings, and he worked well on a tight budget. fernandez put far too much trust in him and allowed him to waste money and get players well past their best on long expensive contracts without a relegation clause in place. Hughes has lost the support of the players who no longer believe in him, the club can’t afford to sack him, and we are on the way to financial disaster, relegation, administration, and a further relegation, clear out the deadwood, and start all over again. good old qpr always screw it up eventually!!might be back in the premierleague in 12 years time.
