I'm not sure Pilkington is on £40k per week, but he was one of OGS' big signings when we were throwing money way. I have heard he's refused to go and will see out his contract, which implies he is on big money. Maybe that's why Warnock left him out of the squad this year as he did well when he played last season. He'll probably run down his contract and have a nasty shock and be unemployed next year.
