QPR Suspend Magilton Wednesday, 9th Dec 2009 12:11 Former Town boss Jim Magilton has been suspended by QPR pending an investigation into the incident involving midfielder Akos Buzsaky after their defeat to Watford earlier in the week. Magilton is reported to have headbutted the Hungarian.
A QPR statement released this morning said: “The club can confirm that manager Jim Magilton has been suspended with immediate effect, pending an internal investigation.
“The suspension relates to an incident which occurred at Monday's Championship fixture against Watford at Vicarage Road.”
Magilton joined the R’s in the summer having been sacked by the Blues in April. The Northern Irishman, assisted by John Gorman as he was in his latter days at Portman Road, has taken the London club to 12th in the Championship table.

He's given them the chance to sack him, which is a shame because I think he's done well there. His loans have worked, that may have been John Gorman (as when ringing Harry about Gio). If their supporters have turned on him, that's terrible, it's not that long ago they were winning well away I saw them on TV one Saturday evening. Why have we bought so badly, that is killing our club, no need to splash on permanent players, it doesn't make sense, just get loans. The money we have wasted will come back to haunt us. 11 more wins needed to stay up, with every home game the atmosphere of a deflated balloon at the moment. Had to get that off my chest, it's SOOOOOOOOO frustrating to see our club being gradually destroyed. Business plan, permanent/loan balance of players, all in awe of Roy Keane, Clegg is it his name, not a football man, naah, persuade me to go to Blackpool on 2 Jan (beloved FA Cup, I'm dreaming) and see my 'local' away game 5 miles away at Peterborough in Feb, there's nothing to look forward to. Let's get James Beattie to come in maybe headbutt from Roy Keane and give the chance to sack him without compensating his contract, but who would want Jim Magilton back? Not me, same old same old. I don't think we can be rescued, could we get Lee Clark with Jordan Rhodes. What you need to win home games is quality players, just find us some quickly, at least 6 or 7 of those 11 wins still needed to avoid the drop will probably need to come at Portman Road. |  |
