Rosenior loses job in 10 minutes
Leroy Rosenior has broken the record for English football's shortest managerial reign.
BBC Five Live understands Rosenior lost his job at Torquay only 10 minutes after being introduced as the Devon club's new manager on Thursday.
Chairman Mike Bateson called him to say he had just sold the club to a group led by Colin Lee, who then reinstated himself as director of football.
Lee had only been made redundant from the post on 14 May.
Rosenior, 43, was given the head coach position at Plainmoor when Keith Curle's short-term contract expired.
Bateson told Rosenior that he did not know Lee's bid for the club was imminent when he appointed him.
It would have been the former Brentford boss's second stint in charge at Torquay.

If I had the money I'd have done that to Kevin Fallon at the Kingz
and instead of putting myself in the position, run a
competition for a fan every week to select the side. I'm pretty
sure the fans could have done just as bad a job:-p

Leroy Rosenior seems to be making fleeting appointments a
speciality. He was also in charge of the Sierra Leone national side
for one game, 4-2 win vs Leyton Orient last week (sob, sob). He's
also Liam Rosenior's dad.
Nix, Leyton Orient and Alloa Athletic supporting schmuck.

Leroy = West Ham legend
All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight
