Since his arrival at the club Hughes has overseen 29 league games, from which Rangers have picked up 24 points. On the basis they probably need at least 34 from their next 27 to stay up, they are clearly in a situation which Hughes – voluntarily making himself a hostage to fortune.
Mark Hughes appears to be a manager living out of luck or some sort of supernatural powers because despite his poor performances the club owners and players still have a lot of confidence in his ability.
Anton Ferdinad came out publicly to appeal to the fans to give the Manager more time to deliver, so also has former striker Marsh who was quoted saying"
'I believe you should give the manager until Christmas,'
Marsh told BBC Radio Five Live's Sportsweek programme.
'If you look at any successful team it is always based on
continuity and consistency.'Just look at Arsenal and Manchester United and what they have done with Arsene Wenger and (Sir) Alex Ferguson.
'Yes, they have gone 11 games without a win, but I hate it when owners keep on sacking their managers after a run of bad results.
'Mark Hughes has been under the cosh for the last four games.
'It was only six games into the season when they were saying "Hughes out.
That can't be good for anybody within the football club. I believe in continuity and consistency.'
Even the club chairman after Saturday's game took to tweeter to express his support to the former Manchester United striker.
"We got to cut out errors. One error cost us and we got to take our chances. Team played as planned. Must win next win. No panic. Table is compressed. Defense was awful now fairly solid. Midfield strong. Got to score now." It must have raised eyebrows among the Rangers fans who, like Fernandes, travelled to the Britannia Stadium.
Particularly the "played as planned" bit because seldom can a Match of the Day highlights package have been more misleading. Rangers looked disjointed and at times dispirited, lacking in cohesion and rhythm, and for a side including Adel Taarabt, Esteban Granero and Alejandro Faurlín, they created very little.
Djibril Cissé, isolated and horribly out of form up front, had the sort of game that made a mockery of his selection ahead of Jamie Mackie and though the defence did look more solid than of late, they were up against a Stoke side who had scored only eight goals in their previous 10 games and were playing five in midfield.
Am certainly wondering what a lot of QPR fans are wondering right now, on how and why Mark Hughes is till incharge of the club at this stage after a series of poor performance, i just hope and pray His case won't turn out to be like that of Steve Keane at Blackburn Rovers.
Deep down me i know that the defeat to Stoke city on Saturday is certainly the beginning of the end for Mark Hughes at QPR.
