Yep, its interesting here is a list of Liverpool managers. Shankly kept his job for 15 years with a 52% win rate Looking at Albion we have had 14 managers since the start of 2000 and 24 for the whole of the 20th century. https://www.worldfootball.net/teams/brighton-hove-albion/9/

Fascinating looking through that.

Not sure you can really count Nathan Jones as an actual 'manager' though. They've missed off Peter Taylor from the last century.

And it looks as though Potter takes us down to the championship in 2022-23 and gets the sack during the summer. Or, alternatively, gets us into the Europa League and gets poached by Man United. But we've got him for four years anyway!

Where's Barry Lloyd? Who was between Robson and Welsh? Between Welsh and Curtis? Goodwin and Clough? Clough and Mullery? Melia and Mullery?

I haven't the ability to edit my post, but post 18 noted Rafa's departure (and Lampard's from Derby).

But he is now 75th following Steve Bruce's departure from Wednesday.

There are lots of gaps on the list. 87 - 93 for example is completely missing.

Campbell leaving is a bizarre one - he did a terrific job last season and has W1, L1 so far this season.

There must be something behind that

Wow, we've missed a few. I just saw the Michael Appleton is continuing to tick teams off his list, as he is now the manager of Lincoln, whose previous manager took the vacancy at huddersfield. We also missed Stevenage's manager leaving to take over at Oldham.

Potter is now in 68th place.
