Overview
- Torquay United dismissed manager Paul Wotton and assistant Mike Edwards after a five-game winless run capped by a 5-0 home defeat to Chelmsford City.
- Neil Warnock, 77, took over as unpaid caretaker after serving as the club’s football adviser since May 2024 and says he neither influenced nor agreed with the sacking.
- In his first match back, Torquay drew 2-2 with Farnborough thanks to a corner that went straight in from Sonny Blu Lo-Everton and an 88th-minute equaliser by Exeter City loanee Kieran Wilson.
- The result leaves Torquay fourth in National League South and nine points behind leaders Dorking Wanderers, with their winless run now at six matches.
- The board has been inundated with interest, receiving nearly 30 applications within 24 hours, and Warnock told talkSPORT he expects to stay in charge for only two or three games as the club moves to appoint a permanent manager.
