QPR boss Mark Hughes is confident he retains the support of the board.

The Welshman has been backed by Rangers' chairman Tony Fernandes in recent weeks despite the fact the club sit bottom of the Premier League.

He said: "Everyone understands what we are trying to do here. Tony and Amit (Bhatia, vice-chairman) and all the shareholders have been really positive in that regard.

"They knew and we discussed that there was a possibility the start of the season could be a little bit difficult because we had so many players coming in."
