No job guarantees for new QPR boss Hughes

QPR have refused to guarantee Mark Hughes will not be sacked if the club are relegated from the Premier League.

New manager Hughes pledged his long-term future to Rangers on Wednesday, insisting he had no intention of reneging on his two-and-a-half-year contract, even if the worst happened.

But QPR chief executive Philip Beard declined to give a cast-iron assurance the club would reciprocate.
