Has anybody seen how much of his wage qpr are paying?

No but it'll be minimal. 25% at most I'd think (£17.5k per week)

A free header at the back post after a flick on from a corner.

Watching it did take me back to what Johnnycash said earlier about the quality of goals in the premier league and the lower leagues.

 ;D Apparently blowing out his backside after 50 mins....Warburton took him off and made the comment "We have to bring Charlies' fitness level up".

Beggers the question are the Albion squad fit enough??? Obviously not as fit as most of their Premiership opposition???  This is a problem if so.

Might be worth reading this thread again from the beginning.
If it was easy, it wouldn't be Albion

I think HRK's company have hacked the fitness mainframe.  They haven't looked fit enough since returning from Lockdown 1.

It doesn't matter how many resources you have.
If you don't know how to use them, they will never be enough.

To be fair, he's getting on a bit, his legs are gone, and he's not being playing regular first team football.

The shock will come when Warburton finds out that that's as much as he'll get out of an aging Charlie.

To be fair, his legs had gone before he joined us. The shock is that the club thought he could play himself into fitness once he joined.

If he manages the same goal per game ratio for them as he had for us, well i reckon they will be happy.   He can still nick the odd goal and is a superb penalty taker.  If they expected any more then they have obviously not actually watched him for the last year.

He's definitely a Championship player now, hasn't got the legs to cut it in the prem.

Interesting article about his last few months with us.

https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/charlie-austin-makes-slaven-bilic-19647324

This bit stuck out though...

“If I’d have sulked for two months, then it’s December and it’s too late to get your head around performing. I started training a lot better than I had been because I thought I was going to leave, forced my way back in, but still nothing changed.”

Austin was told he was 4th or 5th choice, it's not exactly surprising that players out of favour would prefer to be playing football. This article is based on a BBC five live interview with Austin which was fairly interesting. He was asked if Albion would survive, there was a pause followed by an emphatic no an the table doesn't lie comment from him and they need players in. Telling that current squad members don't think we are good enough either.

So couldn't be bothered to train to play for us. Nice one.

When I read the article it came across to me like a truckload of sour grapes.

Yeah he comes across as a bit of a tit to me as well. Thankfully he's gone now. Has to face up to his reality of where he's at in his career now and doesn't seem like he likes it. No shame in being a decent EFL striker IMO, i'd love to be paid to play footy.

“I went to see Sam [Allardyce] on the Friday, and he just said ‘look, we’ve accepted an from QPR for you to go and speak to them,"


So SA didn't rate him either.

anyone who has seen Austins performances at B71 will know that he is past it as far as EPL is concerned, Bilic knew it , CA couldnt accept it. Its that simple really.

He was spent when he got here sadly. We all knew he wasnt the player he used to be but i dont think any of thought he would be as far gone as he was. Totally unsuited to our style and tactics and its 50-70k per week wasted. Top Dowling.

Its worth going back to Pages 1  & 2 of this thread and re-reading with the benefit of hindsight !

Signing strikers over 30 is rarely a good move ! The only 1 who I can recollect working for us was SKP and he was by any measure exceptional, even Kanu (the real one) was only allegedly 28 when he came here

Hopefully he will score plenty of goals for QPR and we can flog him. Scored just 10 for us in the Championship.

He’s out of contract in the summer mate so we won’t be making any money on him.

Cheers guys thanks for the info. If he is on £70k as has been stated it will be good that he goes.
