Ambitious Hughes considering QPR job offer
Hughes was at Loftus Road with advisor Kia Joorabchian yesterday for talks with chief executive Philip Beard about taking over at the west London club.
He revealed the talks had gone well but he had not yet agreed to become the club’s next manager.
Although the likes of Gianfranco Zola, Rafael Benitez, Roberto Di Matteo, Sven Goran Eriksson and Steve Bruce have been linked with the position, Hughes has been the leading candidate from the off.
Asked if he had agreed to become the manager, Hughes said: “We’re not at that point at this moment. We are still discussing the ideas the club have and I have to think very carefully about what’s been said today and overnight and then we will come back in the morning.
“One factor that concerns me is that I am an ambitious manager and have to make sure the club meets those ambitions.”
Beard had earlier made no secret of the fact Rangers wanted to move swiftly, saying: “We’ll try and move very quickly and get things sorted.
“This is a project about building for the short, medium and long term, and our intention — very strongly — is to do everything possible to stay in the Premier League this season.
“Then to build and grow the club so we can fulfil some of the ambitions, not just for the people behind the club, but more importantly than anybody, the people who support the club.”
Warnock lost his job after enduring a run of eight Barclays Premier League matches without a win.
