Gulls 'axe boss after 10 minutes'

by Pierre Littbarski Sun May 20, 2007 11:48 pm

Leroy Rosenior has broken the record for the shortest ever tenure by a manager at an English club, BBC Five Live understands.

The former Brentford boss was sacked just 10 minutes after being introduced as Torquay's new manager on Thursday.

Rosenior, 43, was first-team coach at Plainmoor and was appointed as Keith Curle's successor.

The Gulls were relegated from the Football League two weeks ago and were put up for sale on Sunday.

What happened? Did he swear at the chairman or something?

BBS says the chairman hired him, then sold the club. The new owners fired him.

Bummer - I hope he gets some compensation!

Why would you hire a new manager ten minutes before selling the club?

I think he hired him a few weeks before, but sold the club on the day he turned up - the chairman said he didn't know he's be selling the club when he hired Rosenior.
