Clarke. Contracted to the end of the season by DCFC and on ?15K a week. He cost ?750K in the January window. Free agent if we go down. IIRC. If we stay up I'd hope we'd had the foresight to have an option we can trigger. Failing that, we hold talks before he gets to the tunnel post match Satdeh.

Phillips. Contract expires this summer. He'd be on a free, we can afford that. It appears his Liverpool contract is ?65K a week. I found a site claiming we're paying him ?45K and that's well above anything we are currently paying anyone else. Busting that wide open for Phillips would likely cause ructions we can do without. Likely no ructions this season as he's not "ours".

Armstrong. Likely to be in Everton's PL squad next season. There's a rumour that that is his aim but if he is to go out on loan again, he'd love to come back here. The site claims we are current paying him ?1200 a week.

Here's the url for the site giving the current wages. https://www.capology.com/club/derby-county/salaries/
