QPR boss Mark Hughes believes his team will start winning soon and has reiterated that he has the backing of the board.

Longevity

The 48-year-old former Wales boss feels it is vital that managers are given time and believes he has earned the chance to stay at Loftus Road after keeping the club up last season. "Longevity is vital to a club and certainly one in our position who are only in their second season after coming up from the Championship," he said. "You need that continuity and longevity of players and management to enable you to grow as a group and chopping and changing personnel is difficult. "The job we did from January (when Hughes was appointed) until the end of last season was a huge job. "Whatever success I have in the future and whatever success I have had in the past, the job that we did from Jan until the end of the season was huge and was right up there in what I was able to achieve. "I don't think that will change anytime soon, I think it was a massive job that we had to undertake and achieved, we are still very early in the process and we are still trying to move this club forward and we will do."
