Hughes said on Wednesday that he would remain at QPR even if they are relegated from the Premier League this season because he wanted to “build something from the start” and recognised the opportunity to completely overhaul the club from “bottom to the top”.
Sources close to the 48-year-old Welshman explained his vision to create what was termed a “mini-Arsenal” and develop the same kind of dynasty as Arsène Wenger with a new stadium, new training ground and facilities and infrastructure fit for a top-10 Premier League club.
“I’m hoping we can get to the point where we are a well-established Premier League club,” Hughes, who has signed an initial 2½-year deal, said. “We want to get to the point where we are consistently tough to beat and consistently in the top 10.”
That overhaul will start with the immediate task of reshaping the squad in the remainder of the January transfer window.
A £3 million bid has been submitted for Alex — who has had a transfer request accepted at Chelsea — and Rangers hope to sign two out of three central defensive targets with Blackburn’s Christopher Samba and Manchester City’s Nedum Onuoha also on their list.
