Hughes on stunning money at QPR

Mark Hughes will earn a £1 million bonus should he keep QPR up this season.

The Mirror says Hughes will be paid Champions League money to manage QPR - and get a bumper bonus if he keeps them in the Premier League.

The former Wales, Blackburn, Manchester City and Fulham boss Hughes has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal that's worth nearly £10million, making him one of the best paid managers in the top flight.

At around £3m-a-year, Hughes is just behind the likes of Arsene Wenger, Sir Alex Ferguson and Roberto Mancini in terms of wages.

There are also big-money bonuses written into his deal, including around £1m for saving the west London side from their current precarious position one point and one place above the bottom three.
