The 2014-15 campaign delivered an immediate and painful return to the Championship for Queens Park Rangers, as The Hoops finished a crushing 20th in the Premier League after a season defined by managerial turmoil and a record-breaking run of 11 consecutive away defeats. Leading the charge in the desperate fight to survive was the clinical striker Charlie Austin, whose superb 18 league goals were the one shining light for the club in an otherwise bleak campaign. It was a turbulent year that saw manager Harry Redknapp depart mid-season, and the club was relegated for a second time in three years, marking a difficult but defining chapter in their modern history.
