Football League Review: Mixed fortunes for relegated clubs, Austin wants out

QPR made a losing start to life back in the Championship as they were beaten 2-0 in a season-opening London derby at Charlton Athletic on Saturday.

Chris Ramsey's side finished bottom of the Premier League last term but their bid for an instant return got off to a disappointing start, with Tony Watt and Morgan Fox finding the net at The Valley.

In-demand Charlie Austin played 85 minutes for QPR but, speaking to BBC Radio Five Live after the match, manager Ramsey said: "We're getting calls all the time but not the right ones. The player wants to go.

"If we get the right money he'll be on his way. We want it sorted out one way or another as it's not fair on the player."
