Former boss Jim Magilton has issued a High Court writ against Town to try to recover £352,083.33 that he claims he is owed in lost earnings. Magilton, who was sacked by the Blues 11 months ago, revealed earlier in the week that he and the club have failed to come to a settlement regarding his contract which is due to end in June this year and that the matter is set to go to court.
The Northern Irishman says Town were in breach of his contract and that he should have continued to receive his salary after being relieved of his duties in April last year.
An alternative claim by the former midfielder for a figure of around £242,000 takes into consideration his seven-month spell as manager at QPR, which ended in December.
Town have said that they will not be commenting on the matter.
