Birmingham City manager Gary Rowett reckons the QPR head coach has a harder job than he does.
Blues sit just outside the play-off spots; Rs languish in mid-table, 13th - but that's not the real reason why one former Burton boss reckons the man who followed him into the Albion hotseat is up against it.
"I hope he turns the QPR situation around," Rowett said.
"I think it's a very different dynamic there to the one we have got, probably a harder one to turn round initially having just come down from the Premier League.
"But I am sure given time he will be able to do that. Obviously we hope that doesn't start on Saturday."
Rowett gave JFH a bit of a headstart at the Pirelli in October 2014 to make sure things went for Burton, rather than going for a Burton. It seems the Dutchman paid close attention.
"I had a good conversation with him and I tried to help whenever he has asked," Rowett said.
"He hasn't asked me an awful lot to be fair. He is an excellent manager in his own right and did a brilliant job at Burton - one we could only have dreamed kept going so well.
"I have had a couple of conversations with him, he's a really likeable guy, a really effervescent character with some great ideas in the things he has done."
Here's what happened when the two sides met at St Andrews in October.
