Austin wages at wba

[qprmarc]

Read that he’s on 70k a week surely that can’t be true , if we did want to sign him in the summer he would have to take a massive drop in wages , any ideas what’s the most we’d roughly pay per week ?

Just guessing but maybe 12-15k max? Could be less.

Our only chance to get him permanently is to give him good signing on a fee

£3,640,000 a season or £70k a week

Pretty average wages for a premiership player these days.

Thing is, the better he does here, the more attractive he becomes to other Championship clubs who have more money than us. The way table is at moment it's conceivable next season there will be 7ish teams getting some level of parachute money who could offer Charlie 3, maybe 4, times what we could.

True, but we can only hope that he loves it so much at QPR that money won't be the motivating factor for him. Just look at how Wells is getting on at Bristol City or Hugill at Norwich, they would both have faired better being at QPR.

Money talks , footballers have short careers, despite how much they earn . I bet Hugil and Wells would both move again if more money was offered elsewhere.I don’t see any club offering Austin that kind of money this time round , maybe if we offered him a longer deal but on less money then that might swing it .If WBA choose to activate his one year contract extension then it’s all irrelevant anyway.

He'll end up playing in the championship for WBA.

[dave58]

At that money we cant afford him we're probably paying maybe 1/3 of his wages at the moment cant believe we'd be paying half, and unless he's prepared to take a massive cut he ain't coming here next year

[72bus]

Enjoy him this season as he'll be looking for one last bumper contract before he retires . Whether he'd like to stay with us or not he won't as money talks

The only way WBA are paying Chaz £70KPW is if he had a stupid clause for a pay rise to the prem, which I doubt.

But if he can drop to £12K then we could probably get him.

MLS seems to be the place for the last hurrah financially these days similar to what happened in the 70’s

If you Google WBA Players wages the first hit has Austin at £77,000 per week. Only thing is his contract is up end of season and I cannot see many Championship paying him a fraction of that.
