QPR face a mass exodus of senior players as they prepare to return to the Championship.

Charlie Austin will lead a mass exodus of up to FOURTEEN players if QPR go down, says the People.

And with Rio Ferdinand, Bobby Zamora, Joey Barton, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Richard Dunne and Clint Hill among 12 players out of contract at the end of the season, Rangers are facing the biggest squad shake-up in their history.

Matt Phillips, rated at £8m, is also a Southampton target.
