The tactician claims that he has still not decided who will be QPR’s new skipper after Joey Barton was unceremoniously sacked from the role.
Although the Londoners managed to stay in the Premier League last season, a host of problems have now confronted the side as they look to turn around their fortunes.
Joey Barton, who arrived from Newcastle United last summer, was always seen as a temperamental footballer with loads of skill and ability to lead the troops on the pitch.
Thus when Neil Warnock handed him the captain’s armband it wasn’t a surprise because of his talents, but what came into scrutiny was his behavior.
Barton was already thought of as a hothead, who could be brilliant for one match and insane for the next one. However QPR gave him the task of taking the club forward on the pitch.
While no incident of note dominated proceedings at Loftus Road for the majority of the campaign, on the last day at the Etihad Stadium, the midfielder displayed his ugly side and was sent off for starting a brawl.
After the hearing the F.A’s decision of handing him a 12-game ban, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 have decided to strip him of the captaincy but are still searching for his replacement according to manager Mark Hughes.
“I haven't made a decision on who is going to be the Captain yet. I think that, as the pre-season goes on, individuals will come forward and it will be easier to make that decision. It's important the Captain on the field has a good relationship with the
group and is able to get my message over to the players as they play,” he said.
"You can do all the work leading into the game but come kick-off, my message may be lost. It's important that you have a Captain that can communicate well on the field of play. "We'll have to wait and see, but I'm sure that an obvious candidate will make
themselves known."
Although ‘Sparky’ has refused to shed light on the leading candidates for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684, it is highly expected that Ji-Sung Park, who arrived from Manchester United a few days ago, is likely to be given the armband after plying his trade at the highest level for
almost a decade.
