Brentford have appointed Leroy Rosenior as their new manager in succession to Martin Allen, who resigned last month.

Rosenior, who had been working as first team coach at Shrewsbury, left Torquay by mutual consent in February after nearly four years in charge.

"I am delighted to be here," he said. "This club has gone through some big changes and I'm determined to help them make the jump to the Championship."

Meanwhile coach Adrian Whitbread and physio Damien Doyle have left the club.

Brentford chairman Greg Dyke said he was delighted with the appointment.

"We had a long list of possibles and interviewed a number of them and we were unanimous in choosing Leroy," he said.

"We were impressed by his knowledge of the game, his enthusiasm for attractive football and his overall attitude.

"We were keen to appoint another young manager on his way up and asked several experienced people about Leroy and got nothing back but praise for a bright, young manager.

"With pre-season training only a few weeks away we were keen to appoint a replacement for Martin Allen quickly and are delighted that we have found such a high calibre manager."

Where did Allen go in the end?

 

[LANGDON SEAGULL]

Werent we after him at the same time as McGhee?

Granted took Torquay up, but also took them down and then to the foot of the league

Where's Martin Allen gone?.

 

[LANGDON SEAGULL]

Allen is still jobless, but linked to Northampton, Tranmere and MK Dons

No idea.

Give him a job! I think that's the answer to the perennial "Who could do better than McGhee?" question.

If he's that good why's he still jobless??

Just how many teams has he got out of League 1 and how many seasons has he spent in the Championship?...no thanks, find someone better before you sack who we have please...or stick to supporting Spurs

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

I would argue, but it's hard to take seriously someone who'd take McGhee over one of the brightest management prospects in the game.

That would be a fair enough comment...if the comment wasn't from someone who still backs Leon Knight

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

How can you not love the little tyke? He means well, bless 'im.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

for what reasons? If you dont mind me asking!

I think it was a case of - he had got them so far and perhaps didn't want another nearly there on his CV.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

GET HIM NOW DK

 

[Easy 10]

I think Allen had an interview for the Tranmere job, but they don't seem to want him.
