QPR boss Mark Hughes is angry with the timing of John Terry's July trial date.

Hughes is disappointed the matter will not be settled for almost six months and also claims it will disrupt his club's pre-season preparations.

"They've made a decision that impacts on one of my players, they've given a date which is slap bang in the middle of pre-season," said Hughes.

"I don't know how they've come up with the date, whether they have had discussions with the FA and made sure it doesn't impact on the Euros.

"If John goes to the Euros it probably impacts on his holidays. But it's not in Anton's down time.

"It seems to have been dragging on forever. Certainly from my point of view and Anton's, we'd have preferred it to have been done and dusted by now.

"We weren't involved in any discussions, otherwise we would have put our point over that there could be a little bit of an issue from our point of view."
