Warburton shrugs off pressure and plans ‘very prudent January’ for QPR
Mark Warburton insists is unfazed by being under pressure following QPR’s poor results.
Manager Warburton’s position is under scrutiny after a run of seven matches without a win – and just one win in 10.
But he said: “When you’re in football, every game is pressure.
“If you’re winning games then you’re under pressure to keep on the winning run and if you’re losing games you’re under pressure to win the next one.
“That’s football. That’s what you’re paid for. You (journalists) have to create stories and do your job.”
Warburton is keen to add to his squad when the January transfer window opens.
However, he says QPR’s options will be limited by the financial problems facing many clubs because of the Covid-19 situation.
Warburton said: “We’ve got to look at our squad, we know that. We’re very tight.
“But it will be about the financial landscape. There’s no supporters coming in, so the financial landscape will not improve.
“It’s going to have to be a very prudent January – smart business.
“Don’t expect any grandstand £5m signing from QPR as that won’t be happening.”
Meanwhile, Warburton has insisted there is no prospect of signing former Brentford defender Daniel O’Shaughnessy, who has been linked with a return to west London.

we are only club to be screwed to he tune of £40 mill for FFP. Hughes, Redknapp and Covid are not helping. Spending money on a striker and then starving him of chances??? Inability to change formations. Defence taking social distancing to new levels. Need a younger Clint Hill and Shaun Derry to help get the club out of the mess they are in.

Bowles Right Foot – Got it in one, not just down to the manager, its the club philosophy thats wrong.
Who in their right mind will want to join a club paying peanuts while on a downward slide? wakey wakey board before its too late.

Been QPR for 45 years,last time they made me proud was down to Bob Zamora. Absolutely farcical since then. 1 big advert on how Not to run a club. Ferdinand should accept most of the blame,novice expert!

IT doesnt matter. No good players wants to play for a stupid club like QPR. The club Will ONLY get the left overs that nobobody wants. You Will get relegated and never come back to Any of the two upper divisjons on the league.

I won’t single out just Warburton – Les, Hoos, recruiting, ownership, players all have to share in how poor we have performed. He needs to go but so do several others.
