DT Posted 8 January, 2012 Author Share Posted 8 January, 2012 Ex-Saints boss favourite to replace Warnock 7:40pm Sunday 8th January 2012 in Sport Skip social links Print Email Comments(3) FORMER Saints striker Mark Hughes has been installed as one of the favourites to replace Neil Warnock after QPR sacked their manager tonight. Here are some of the names already being linked with the Loftus Road vacancy. MARK HUGHES Former Wales and Manchester City boss Hughes' name immediately surfaced upon Warnock's sacking. The Welshman is available having left Fulham in the summer and his stock in the game remains high following his achievements in previous positions. RAFAEL BENITEZ Former Liverpool boss Benitez has made no secret of his desire to return to the Premier League and has been out of work since an unsuccessful spell with Inter Milan ended just over a year ago. Perhaps importantly, though, the Spaniard has not experienced a relegation battle for over a decade. GIANFRANCO ZOLA Former West Ham boss Zola has long-standing professional links with London and the Italian was considered unfortunate to lose his job at Upton Park in 2010. His footballing ethos would appeal to the QPR supporters and hierarchy but he remains something of an unknown quantity in terms of management. RAY WILKINS The former Rs player and manager also has experience managing and coaching with the likes of Millwall, Chelsea and Fulham. However, his last role as a full-time, permanent manager was with the Cottagers back in 1997-98 and he is currently engaged in work as a television pundit. SVEN-GORAN ERIKSSON The former England boss usually crops up in bookmakers' lists and is bound to be linked with this post too. However, following his unsuccessful spell at Leicester, the Swede must be regarded as an outsider. STEVE BRUCE Out of work since leaving Sunderland recently, the former Manchester United centre-half still has a decent reputation in the game and the prospect of big money to spend at Loftus Road would surely appeal.

captainchris Posted 8 January, 2012 Share Posted 8 January, 2012 Good riddance Warnock - what goes around comes around! Your disingenuous remarks regarding our club were very poor Karma. Your smarmy smooth talking in the end got you nowhere as did selling your centre half and taking our over rated trouble maker of a midfielder and finding out he actually wasn't good enough!!!!! Never mind - not to worry...........Sometimes it's worth taking a look at yourself before criticising others.........Not unhappy about your situation to be honest.....You are not half as good as you think you are!

Great post - totally agree, the man is a sanctimonius twerp of the highest order. I can't bear to hear his voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channon's Sideburns Posted 9 January, 2012 Share Posted 9 January, 2012 Warnock's a prat, but he's not Harry Redknapp. Which means he's not that bad.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minty Posted 9 January, 2012 Share Posted 9 January, 2012 Theyre talking about Mark Hughes. Did I miss something? Just the headline it seems, not the actual article. I know in the past when I used to write for the Echo, the headline was written by someone else, so that's probably what happened here, someone not reading it properly (and also clearly not knowing Saints' history).

DT Posted 9 January, 2012 Author Share Posted 9 January, 2012 That's right, the sub writes the headline generally, but that goes through another tier (or should) of proofing, with the editor having the final see. So you'd have thought that with it being the local newspaper someone might have realised. Still, no-one died. Except Warnock's career. Why DO people think Mark Hughes is any good at all? The man is made of TEFLON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted 9 January, 2012 Share Posted 9 January, 2012 The man is made of TEFLON. I don't think so - it implies that he might actually be useful for something, and I'm not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
