Jim Reveals Oxford Rejection

Town manager Jim Magilton has today revealed how he was just a few hours away from taking the managers job at Oxford last year.

Jim and his agent were about to go to Oxford to sign the paperwork that would have seen him take charge at the Kassam stadium but he changed his mind and stayed with Town. 

Jim: “I was very, very close to going to Oxford. Mick Maguire was going to drive down with me but I said I wasn't going - it turned out to be the best decision I have ever made in my life.

 “The old owner Kassam's reign was swiftly ended and a couple of days later Jim Smith went there while I stayed at Ipswich. The rest is history and has worked out perfectly for me.” Source: Evening Star
