Magilton and Town Set for Court - Ipswich Town News

Former boss Jim Magilton has revealed he has yet to come to a financial settlement with Town regarding his Portman Road exit and that the matter is set to go to court. The Northern Irishman, who left his subsequent role as QPR boss earlier in the season, was sacked by the Blues last April with his contract due to run to this summer.

In an interview in the Belfast Telegraph, Magilton said: "I was 11 years at Ipswich Town as player and manager, but we couldn't reach an agreement and that’s going to court. The other one is in the process of getting done.”

The former midfielder says his experiences at Town and QPR haven’t put him off managing another club: "If an opportunity comes along, why not? I have no fear of going back into a job.

"I have hopefully learned from both experiences and hopefully that will stand me in good stead. The nature of how I left both clubs hasn’t put me off.”

Magilton says he has been interviewed for one management job since leaving QPR in December.
