Rosenior future in doubt

21 May 2007 - 08:23:19

Leroy Rosenior has reportedly lost his job as manager of Torquay United just hours after returning to Plainmoor for a second spell in charge of the Gulls.

Rosenior was handed the managerial reins for a second time on Friday by chairman Mike Bateson.

However, just hours later, Bateson confirmed he had sold the Conference-bound club to a consortium led by former director of football Colin Lee.

Lee, who was only made redundant on May 14 following the club's relegation from League Two, has reportedly installed himself as the club's new manager leaving Rosenior facing an immediate axe.

The previous shortest tenure in charge of an English club was Dave Bassett's four-day reign at Crystal Palace in 1984.

Bateson has yet to clarify Rosenior's position claiming it is a matter "for the new owners" but did issue a statement confirming he had agreed to sell his stake in the crisis-torn club.

"Amid mounting rumour and speculation, owner Mike Bateson has this morning confirmed he has agreed a deal to sell his 51 per cent stake to a consortium led by Cris Boyce," confirmed the statement.

"Mr Bateson will not comment any further at the moment other than to say details are being finalised by lawyers and completion is expected early this week."
