Magilton Walks Out of Press Conference - Ipswich Town News

Town boss Jim Magilton stormed out of his pre-match press conference this morning when questioned regarding the future of central defender Alex Bruce.

Bruce has been linked with a move to the Canaries for some weeks with reports in Norfolk this morning claiming that an approach had been made for the 24-year-old a month ago.

Magilton's relationship with the press has become increasingly spiky and the Northern Irishman complained earlier in the week that there are "a lot of negative stories being written about us at the moment".
