So is that 11 months worth of pay? 350k. I hear Pompeys Peter Story (CEO) has taken a 40% pay cut. He's now on just 500k a year!!!!!!

That's nothing, clearly paying him low wage, just pay him up ME.

Come on town pay up he deserves his money altough he wasnt the greatest manager in the world he was a fantastic player and will always be rememberd as a true ipswich legend

Good luck super Jim!!

Wonder how much RK will get?

Pay him.
He served the club well and deserves the respect.

We are surely bigger than this!

just take it out of keanes paypacket keane doesn't deserve anything this year

Pay him up or maybe contracts are just useless pieces of paper in the football world and mean nothing. Jim you've been unlucky so far in your managerial capacity but you will come good. I expect to see you lead Northern Ireland to glory. PAY HIM WHAT YOU OWE HIM.

Must agree that, pay what you owe! Town broke the contract and should settle the balance minus the wages he did earn elsewhere, ie pay what he's lost.

A great servant of the Club and deserves more respect.

I wouldn't have minded a contract where they continue to pay me a full salary for a year after being sacked for failing to achieve my set targets, even though I'd had another job for most of that time!

Agree with the cooments. He was a great servant to the club and I personally think he did an alright job.

Bottom line, football manager, football player, bus driver, chef, what ever you do and your owed money, you're owed money and you should get it.

Good luck Jim totally agree that he will get the Northern Irlenad job.

When Sheffield Wednesaday get relegated this season he should take over up there. I think he will get a better lesson and prove his worth in a lower division and then work his way up.

Good luck Jim

He was sacked 11 months ago , and left his 7 month spell at QPR in December. So he would only have been out of work for 1-2 months . QPR surely would have paid him more than us before they sacked him and his contract would have had longer to run.
So shouldn't we be paying him for 1-2 months ( ie until he was employed at QPR), anything after that is down to QPR , right ?

The very fact that he is entering an 'alternative second claim' for the period he worked at QPR indicates that Magilton is chancing his arm. Is this the way he pays the loyalty ITFC showed him? For the club that have already paid you millions over many years - let's sue them for even more money! Great idea! I thought he was the most ponderous midfield player I'd ever seen with one good game - the Bolton semifinal play-off - and a terrible manager. No respect for our great footballing club...

pay the man, he was and still is a legend....

Pay him what he is owed. ITFC is bigger than this shyster-style attitude even if the owner isn't.

NorseBllue, chillax. If you were in his situation what would you do?

'The loyalty shown towards' him was being sacked over the phone whilst visiting his dying mother in Belfast.

What a family club we really are.

The labour is worthy of its' hire...
pay him what is due to him..good luck to him...

I hope the fans are voiciferous in support of Jim Magilton, as per the ManU fans when there's something they don't like about their club..

(with a gate price of £33.50 and £1.50 for a cuppa,, they can well afford to pay.. Mr Evans is going to make a packet out of hospitality at the olympics, he is not short of a bob or two)

Finally someone speaks sense (Guthrum). In any walk of life (except football) if you do not job that you are paid to do and you end getting fired , you leave with nothing.
Yes £350k in the grand scheme of things is not a big issue and yes Jim was a great servant to the club, but not a single one of us knows all the absolute facts behind his departure....it is all assumptions. So maybe he is is entitlted to the money and maybe he isn't, but the only people who know for sure are Jim and ITFC.
Why do we all take things at face value and think we have the right to take one side over another?

But guys..........
none of us have seen the contract.
What's at issue here is whether or not the contract said he'd be paid even if sacked. You and I would not be so lucky, normal working people don't have provision in their contracts for compensatory loss of earnings if we fail to carry out our side of the contract (which Magilton clearly failed to do). So... if the legal people and the Board negotiated with JM a contract that pays him when he fails then that says far more about the higher echelons in the management of our club than JM's claim.
If his contract does allow payment we'll have to take it on the chin, if it does'nt then he loses.
If he does win though I'd like to see the fools that negotiated such ridiculous terms given the sack, but then.... can you sack the owner????
Welcome to the wonderful world of "professional" football where idiots pay themselves so much money and even bigger fools pay them to do it....... US!!!!

Why did he need to broadcast this to the world. You all talk of respect etc but where is his respect? I suspect that any stance by our club will be that much tougher due to Jims 'loose lips'.

Give him a job

Pay up what he is owed...... end of....

ITFC may owe him nothing.

It depends entirely upon the wording of the contract.

Give him Liam Trotter and we'll call it quits.

get the feeling all of the negative stuff has started happening ever since keane came in, either take 350K out of his salary, or a better option, sack him and bring magilton back!
