Having experienced an extremely underwhelming 2018/19 Championship campaign, the new season cannot come quick enough for Queens Park Rangers who will be looking to start afresh under new boss Mark Warburton.

Appointed last month as Steve McClaren's replacement, the 56-year-old has already brought in the likes of Liam Kelly and Yoann Barbet with more signings almost certain to happen between now and August.

Incredibly successful during his time in charge of Brentford, Warburton will be confident that he can finally give Hoops fans something to shout about over the coming 11 months after several years of struggle at Loftus Road.

Keeping this in mind, we have set out three reasons why we think R's fans should be optimistic heading into the upcoming campaign.

Check them out below...

Steve McClaren is no longer in charge

Having presided over some truly dismal displays last season, it was somewhat of a surprise that McClaren wasn't let go earlier by QPR as they were clearly going backwards as a club with him in charge.

Yet by finally pulling the plug on the former England boss' 11-month stint in April, chairman Amit Bhatia ended the club's supporters ongoing fear of a possible relegation to League One.

Considering the fact that the Hoops only managed to finish in a lowly 19th position in the Championship in May, the only way now is up for the London-based outfit.

Warburton is a champion of attacking football

Although there are still questions surrounding Warburton's suitability for the Hoops following his ill-fated spell at Nottingham Forest in 2017, he may be able to win over the hearts and minds of the club's fans by bringing an attacking style of play to Loftus Road.

Whilst at Brentford and Rangers, Warburton gave his players the freedom to express themselves which resulted in some stunning exhibitions of football which would go down extremely well at QPR if replicated next season.

The club's younger players could thrive under new leadership

Although there is no doubting that McClaren is a great coach given his previous spells at Manchester United and Middlesbrough, he ultimately did very little to help the club's younger players to develop during the 2018/19 campaign.

Yet with Warburton now in charge, there is no reason why the likes of Darnell Furlong, Eberechi Eze and Joe Lumley cannot end up thriving under his leadership if given the chance to.
