Queens Park Rangers manager Mark Hughes has insisted that he has the backing of the club's owners after another Premier League loss at Stoke City this afternoon.

Hughes's men are still without a league win this year and currently occupy bottom spot in the division.

However, Hughes is confident that he can turn it around.

He said: "We keep on working hard. The players are giving everything and they are devastated in the dressing room because they know they deserved something from the game.

When asked whether he has the support from above, the Welshman responded: "Absolutely.

"It is difficult for everybody because we are desperate to get that win everybody feels we deserve."

Rangers next host fellow strugglers Southampton in a week's time.
