Hughes is safe....for now

Despite Queen's Park Rangers' abject start to the season, owner Tony Fernandes has insisted that manager Mark Hughes is safe and has his full backing.

QPR narrowly avoided relegation last season and, after six games of the new season, have only two points to show for their efforts.

Fernandes, however, stated on Twitter that Hughes is the man for the job and will sort out his band of misfits to ensure that they will actually try to win a game at some point this season.

West Ham defeated QPR at Loftus Road last night to complete the Hoop's worst start to a Premier League season in their history. Following the game, Hughes told the press that despite the poor results he felt he had the backing of the owner and Fernandes public display of support today means that Sparky will get a little longer to make amendments.
