Skipper Carl Baker, striker Leon Clarke and keeper Joe Murphy were told before Saturday’s League One opener they can go to save an estimated £1million a year in wages.
The trio earn an average of around £8,000 a week, money Coventry can ill-afford in their current plight.
I don't understand the second part, is it implying they earn 8k a week each or they earn 8k the 3 of them put together?
I know it's 99% unlikely, but will be great if Samaras signed.
My only con would be if could be bothered to play for us or just picking up wages?
If you have ever watched him play, you know he would play well if the fans give him the support. One of my favourite players ever is Samaras.
So is it happening ? Stuck in Kafilonia at the moment having to endure 35 degrees and ice cold lager by the pool so news is sketchyI noticed that too, hope it was his agent!!

Just checked the accounts that OSB posted - Our entire wage bill in 2013/14 was £6.9m, that includes management, shop staff, medical, etc. but a good proportion of that will have been the playing squad, no way the average was only £1.2k or that Wilson was the second highest paid player on £1.6k pw.
Unless he's cut it since, he would have the loveliest hair the club has ever seen. It's like the sleek glossy coat of a well-groomed dog.
Agreed. Murphy was on 6K a week, Baker on 10K and Clarke was on 2-2.5K. Wilson most certainly wasn't second highest player at the club. As previously mentioned on the thread, the figure 1.2K a week being the average wage for players this season wouldn't shock me too much considering the amount of graduates on our books
Murphy and Clarke were not on the books when Wilson was second highest on the wage.
His Wiki page says he signed for sporting lisbon (although admittedly it also says he plays for us).

No it doesn't, it says they are interested
He was signed in July 2015 by Sporting Lisbon first team coach Jorge Jesus after already agreeing terms before the 2014/15 season had even concluded.

His record isn't that great....1 in 4. 10/11 goals over a season in League One at that average.
Would rather us spend on someone else.
At Celtic it was about 1 in 3 and he played on the wing a lot. To think he wouldn't be a good player in this league is ridiculous, he just isn't a realistic target in my opinion.
Wilson signed a new contract that would run until the summer of 2015 with an extra year option in November 2013 which is the point at where his wage would have increased to the said 1.6K per week salary. At that time, Leon Clarke, Joe Murphy and Carl Baker were all under contract at the club
Are you telling me that fleck (signed from Rangers) and Barton (signed for a fee from PNE) were not on £2.5-3.5k pw, given they were signed when we still had a large budget in our first season down here?

Are you telling me they Definitely are? How do you know that? I did say the average wage of the SQUAD was 1.2k with Wilson on 1.8kpw (sorry I got it wrong earlier) so yes people will be on similar or more than 1.2k but we did not and do not have about 10 players on 3k a week.
