Paul Buckle Appointed Bristol Rovers Boss

The worst kept secret in league football is now out in the open - Paul Buckle has left defeated League Two play-off finalists Torquay to take over the reins at Bristol Rovers.
Torquay lost to Stevenage for the right to play in League One next season, but all of the talk in the build up to the game had been of Buckle's impending switch to the Memorial Ground - something that couldn't have done the Gulls any favours.
Buckle, 40, played for ten clubs during his career before moving into a player-coaching role at Exeter under Paul Tisdale. He then became Tisdale's assistant, a job he held when Exeter lost the Conference play-off final to Morecambe in 2007.
In June of 2007 he left to become manager of Torguay where he lost in the Conference play-off semi finals to ... Exeter. He also took the Gulls to the FA Trophy Final where they lost to Ebbsfleet.
However, in 2009 he finally had some Wembley joy when he lead Torguay back into the Football League at the expense of Cambridge United.
He takes over a side that has recently released nine players and lost hot shot striker Wll Hoskins to League One champions Brighton and so will now need to put his summer holiday on the back burner while he re-builds the squad.
