ADHD diagnosis was very convenient,
Coincided with trying to build a post playing career in the media,
Cynics might suggest his Agent / PR Advisors recommended a timely diagnosis as would sanitize a number of previous transgressions in his past which could prohibit building a new career in the media,
A bit like getting yourselves diagnosed as a sex addict when your Mrs finds out you've been playing away!
Won't listen to the podcast as just think the blokes a bit of a wrong un. |
so are you saying he faked having ADHD to build a career in the media
That seems a bit mad |  | | |

I'm a big offender, and have criticised him more than most, but sometimes we concentrate on the negative don't we and forget good work.
A fantastic striker for us first time round and would love a 25 year old version of him today. [Post edited 10 Sep 14:37]

Harvey Weinstein is a wrong un.
Charlie Austin is just a standard human being with good and bad traits. |  |

I would allow Charlie Austin QPR hero status, he's the best all round striker I've seen playing for the club in my era, probably just ahead of Paul Furlong and Kevin Gallen (first game 1996 so never saw Les).
These podcasts are always a way for players with axes to grind to get it out. I remember Rowan Vine's and Leon Knight's which were both car crashes of podcasts. |
+1 Best striker we had in a long time. So what if he tailed off when he got old, every player does. I agree, a QPR legend | | | |

I loved watching Austin - Dont think he was particularly likeable and don;t think he cared about the club (first time round) much, but you want a selfish striker who's a bit of a pr1ck. He's the tyoe of player who celebrates scoring against old clubs (and I'm pretty sure he did when we played Burnley). His ability, in the box, to get to balls which 100% should have been the defenders was amazing - he just wanted it more. Play off semi finals are prime examples of that. | | | |

To be honest, most of Austins second stint at QPR was dreadful
Was totally unfit most of the time and took us for a ride.
Got away with taking the mick out of the club and was never fit and overweight too.
Wasnt old so just showed his efforts for professional football had past.
The fact he often says he loves the club. Yes we loved his first spell but he should never have come back as he didnt act in a professional manner and took us for a ride and got paid way more than he deserved.
Might be controversial and disliked opinion but he deteriorated as a player very quickly.
Never seen this said on here and surprised its not been said. Perhaps seen as evil to say of a previous hero but he had given up being a professional footballer way before his time. Never achieved what he could have done.
Was a strange situation also with his move to Australia. Cant see that went well either apart from another injection of cash.

We’d have gone very close to being relegated in that lockdown season if him, De Wijs, Johansen and Field hadn’t been signed.
I remember us scraping a 1-1 at Wycombe just before Christmas and thinking we were toast. Bonne and Dykes as the forwards. Tom Carroll the best midfielder. |
Charlie on loan vs Charlie on salary
seemed to have a big difference performance wise |  | | |

What, like every other working human being??  |
There is a difference if you love your job. Otherwise, who would work in the NHS, or for charity? | | | |

That Rowan Vine one shouldn’t have gone out. Really quite a disturbing listen. |  | | |

I 100% understand how that goalkeeper injured him. I imagine even Craig Bellamy would have found him a bit too chippy | | | |

Apparently they had to cut a lot of stuff out for legal reasons.
Mostly 'pay to play' accusations. | | | |

Once you’re having to cut large chunks of it out you should probably have The Conversation. | | | |

The only one that was worse was the Stephen Bywater one which they did pull. | | | |

This will be the same Charlie Austin that kept us up when we had the dynamic duo of Dykes and Bonne up top ,typical LFW this ,coating off an ex hero , I’ve seen Warnock. Olly , Wilkins , Bircham & the Gallens all cop unwanted hate on here for some strange reason
Yet people go all giddy over samba Diakiti “cos he was a nutter “ |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Isn't it possible that age and his body caught up with him? Can't remember a more clear example of seeing a player whose legs had "gone" as in that cup tie at Peterboro when he started.
Now, maybe if he had lived like a saint and trained like Ronaldo it wouldn't have happened, but I find it hard to think ill of Charlie considering he got us to the Premier League, did brilliantly in the PL, had a quality loan spell back with us.
In an era when Holloway, Bircham and Ainsworth are called legends, I will always put Charlie above them, class act. |
I cant agree with that.
He was 30 years old, so should have had at least three more good seasons in him after the loan spell and he was a lot overweight. Also he only had higher level competitive football from 24 years old onwards. So realistically should have more left in the tank, because of that also.
I not doing a job that part of his job earning probably at least £20k a week, requires you to be in good condition, not a bit chubby. I was slim myself still at 40 and obviously wasnt in a job, where I needed to keep myself in physical peak fitness. Hardly needed to be at Ronaldo levels, as you suggest.
Its not doing your job correctly and when you get massive sums of money, you should really be the best possible fitness you can be. Dont think he was.
Not buying the term - his body gave up on him. He was unfit and overweight. And admitted hitting the booze.
Said himself in the interview he tried harder than he would have done if there had not been win bonuses at the start of the loan spell. So although it was positive, him saying that for me, makes me look differently at that now.
To excuse him also for his grandad passing. We all experience loved ones passing. Its tough times, but we all still have to perform in our jobs, even if we have to have couple of weeks recovery sometimes and a job is often a good way to distract from situations such as this, and its normal part of life for everyone. Jimmy Dunne got the winning goal and was man of the match only days after his dad passing.
He is a legend for the two seasons he had for us, which were outstanding and should rightly so be recognised for that.
Unfortunately for me, second spell was a disappointment and sadly this interview for me was a surprise. Didnt think he was the type to fall out with so many managers and go on a sulk.
I understand why all this could have been overlooked by many on here and made excuses for, in his second spell. Hard to challenge a legend of the clubs motivations, so understand why many overlook the reality.
All that being said, i hope he finds his peace and enjoys the rest of his life ahead. Which he deserves to have for me.
Definitely a character though, Charlie and was superb, first time around.
Good luck to him. [Post edited 10 Sep 18:10]
