JIM Magilton has accused former club Queens Park Rangers of fabricating the alleged headbutt incident that led to his exit in 2009. Magilton was sacked after just six months in charge of QPR after a dressingroom bust-up with Hungary international Akos Buzsaky. Melbourne Victory is Magilton's first senior job since and he said he had "no idea" why the story was leaked in such a way. "It's absolutely ridiculous, there was nothing in it. There was a coming together, it was totally embarrassing, like nothing that you haven't seen a million times, that you don't see on the park every Sunday," Magilton said. "There was a bit of finger-pointing, there were a few home truths." Magilton started the 2009-10 season well but the incident happened after an away loss to Watford that saw QPR drop five spots. He questioned the QPR board's motives, namely former chairmen Flavio Briatore and Gianni Paladini and revealed they tried to get involved in team selection. "The next day after our debrief I got a call that Mum had a major operation in hospital, not sure if she will pull through. "Mr Briatore rang and requested a meeting - I said, 'I can't be there'. "That afternoon that whole Akos Buzsaky thing blew up. It was rubbish, utter rubbish."
he was a head and butt ahead of any other manager we had. Just imagine what would have happened if Barton played under him and had a bad game.....
