Hughes faces seven-day battle to save his job

What was it Mark Hughes said at the Etihad Stadium last May as Manchester City basked in their dramatic title success? "This won't happen again in my time here", he said of QPR's desperate but eventually successful attempt to stay in the Premier League.
Nine games into the new season and after masses of money spent (even if Hughes' first-choice back four continues to contain Anton Ferdinand and Clint Hill in it), QPR are still without a victory and are currently rock-bottom of the Premier League table, thus leaving the Daily Mail reporting that Hughes could be sacked if his side fails to beat fellow relegation-threatened club Reading at Loftus Road next week.
Some would say that Hughes was asking for trouble with his summer spending. Having effectively been handed a transfer war chest, he purchased the likes of Ryan Nelsen, Robert Green and Andrew Johnson.
Inspiring? Err...
