    Apparently he was appointed just before the club was taken over and then sacked immediately by the new owners.

    Les' figures are accurate: Appointed 13th November, gone on 24th December. Can't vouch for the others.

    One of our old boys, Paul Went, lasted 21 days at Orient. Thats Curbs-like compared to Rosenior. I Think Leroy signed on the dotted line about the same time as the club changed hands and the new people had different ideas. The old adage of "give him time" didn't come into it by the look of things.

    Dave Bassett managed Palace for 4 days at some point so not sure why he isn't on the list. Maybe beacuse he left on his own terms?

    What about Sean O'Driscoll, wasn't he appointed as Crawley manager but didn't start the job as he left for Forest.

    He was in charge from June to November 1982, got 15 games but won just 4 of them and was given the boot after a 5-1 home defeat by Rotherham. Definite number two overpromoted.

    Cheers for that. I remember that Rotherham game, Killer actually put us 1-0 up. Didnt last long though.
