To my mind RDZ does certainly leave with a legacy of pushing us on .However when one compares his with say Kopps track record ,he had a long way to go before becoming a legend.

At Mainz, Dortmund and Liverpool, Klopp lasted and produced the ultimate. In each case, he operated down the pecking order in the money league. Etching his name into immortality.
RDZ’s younger, learning his craft, I think he’ll always be a nomad, but hopefully he wins stuff along the way.
Both have charisma, that cannot be acquired. Legions of supporters are drawn to such personalities, hence the love for RDZ today.

Highest ever finish , took us in to Europe for the first time , had an amazing group and finished top
last season was the best football I had ever seen a Brighton team play , and that is 60 years ,
if he had received the same support as Klopp we would of qualified for Europe again
i would say our best ever manager without doubt,
didn’t stay long enough to be a legend, but whoever follows will have a hard job to achieve what RDZ did

Getting battered by Villa, Luton and whoever else? That's his legacy in my mind.

It seems that sometimes, here at that the Albion, the stars align and the right manager comes to the club at just the right time and great things happen.
Micky Adams, Peter Taylor, Mark McGhee, Gus Poyet, Chris Hughton, Roberto De Zerbi.
I'm sure RDZ is a good manager, but I'm pretty sure he is not a great one. None of the above were great managers, but they came to the club at the right times and all of them brought us unprecedented successes.
RDZs legacy will always be (for us anyway), our highest ever finish (to date) and our debut in European football.
I suspect, over time, it will be recognised that Graham Potter was our greatest ever manager. He took us truly to Premier League standard, and RDZ polished it off.

And what has Potter done since he has left us , nothing
and if you don’t think that achieving our highest ever position makes him our greatest manager, and taking us into Europe, that no other manager has achieved, and finishing top of the group of death , apart from Mullery no other manager we have had is in the same class
as RDZ

I normally don't care what managers go on to do, bit I'll be watching with interest wherever he ends up. He's obviously very driven, but I'm still not convinced his experienced enough to be given a top, TOP job.
I'm genuinely not sure whether he'll become a great, or if his ego will prevent that...

Add to that Fulham and Bournemouth away plus Everton at home
I think well of Chris Hughton, there has to be a place in there for getting us to the PL..

Such a negative way to consider things. It must be tiring living like that?
I don't think an ego is a problem if you're a) good enough, and b) at a club that can afford the best players.
If Pep has an ego, would it be a problem? If Fergie has, was that a problem?
It's not so easy at a lower level club though, as they're not going to get the best players, and they'll be thinking of climbing the ladder.
True, but junior probably doesn't really think that, he's just fishing
At Liverpool, certainly.
At Brighton he is our most iconic and (IMO) best ever manager.

I’m not so sure ‘think’ is applicable
Good question. Successful like Mourinho (if Mourinho had a cuntectomy) or merely entertaining like Bielsa (if Bielsa had a bit of a charm implant)?

Potter achieved a record losing run nowhere near as bad as the odd defeat. Liverpool often lose to crap sides a couple of times a season.

Both of those were established managers before they got to the big time. RDZ - maybe quite rightly wants his big break NOW.
