It's not extraordinary in itself, but you'd want to dig into those numbers to make anything useful of that number.

For example, from that article I note that the number of teams making changes in Italy during the season considered was far lower than in England.

That may be the case, but when you break it down he was at Sassuolo for 3 years, a decent stint, only left Shakhtar because of the war, left Palermo (14 managers in 8 years) because their owner sacks everyone and Benevento go through on average a manager a year too.

On paper, 7 clubs in 10 years does look pretty bad, but it looks less bad when you look at the clubs in question.

Anyway, TalkSport make their money out of things like this: Over-hype a manager when the going is good, take him down when they falter. It's what they believe makes good radio

It's crazy talk. I hope he stays. The current fit squad has no creativity and he saw it coming. I am convinced next season will be better again if he stays. He has given us the best times of our BHA supporting lives and long may it continue. And I have been watching the Albion since 1972. I just hope we can get a win or maybe two before the end of the season to end on a bit of a high. Long shot, but Chelsea and Man U are winnable, even with the available squad.

You know a football club is in the grip of a mad episode if it ever takes advice from Simon Jordan

I haven't heard the TalkSport discussion yet - but I feel a bit sorry for RDZ . I feel some of what he says is misinterpreted due to the language problem (he still looks to the interpreter for clarification on questions) and I think he should use him for his answers as his English is "clumsy".

Plus the wheels have fallen off for us due to certain things being outside his scope - such as injuries and lack of signings . He undoubtedly has faults but I would like to see how we fair with him next season with a better squad , less injuries and no Europe. I think he will excel again.

To precis, it's Jordan not really allowing the others to speak, damning of any manager (in this case RDZ) who allegedly undermines a club owner.

Nothing insightful or particularly nuanced to us.

Jordan openly despises all agents, managers who don't know their place, players who don't stick to their contracts in full.

I think Villa may be an opportunity for us to pick up a point(s) as the match is sandwiched between their European semi-final. I would like to see us get stuck into them (in a legitimate way ) and we desperately need to get the first goal. UTA

I love your optimism and I'm behind you, but I've seen the same performances trotted out against Burnley, Bournemouth, Fulham, City, Brentford.

The best we've played recently was against Liverpool, and from what we've seen they were clearly already on the slide.

I really can't see us turning Villa or Newcastle over. Maybe we'll get something against Chelsea or Manure. Two draws maybe.

This is just based on the way we are playing and the way we are being set up.

Jordan is a pompous twat - RDZ’s post match comments after Roma about Brighton not being Real Madrid was in reference to the comparative size of the two Clubs - RDZ wasn’t saying it was because we are not Real we couldn’t be expected to beat Roma— what RDZ meant was we don’t have the squad depth of Real so for us, 9 injuries while playing simultaneous competitions will have much more of an impact than it would for a large team like Real and impact on our performances.

Just the tabloid sports media as usual. They built up RDZ into the hottest manager in the transfer market that any European or Big 6 EPL club in its right mind would swoop on, believed in its own hype and are now trying to save face because we’ve hit a slump, so they want to kick out the pedestal from under his feet that they helped create in the first place. This tsunami of blame and character assassination of our manager is completely over the top and unjustified.

In terms of a move to the big clubs, he may have assassinated his own character with his comments after Roma. I think Simon Jordan is correct on that score. Criticising the owner at that point won't have made him attractive to potential future bosses. I don't think anyone's built him up to knock him down. The praise was justified and so is the current scepticism - you can't accept one but ignore the other.
