Because he has won many titles in a row with them.

There's a concept known as context. Google it

the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood and assessed.
"the decision was taken within the context of planned cuts in spending"

the parts of something written or spoken that immediately precede and follow a word or passage and clarify its meaning.
"word processing is affected by the context in which words appear"

Not in his first season he didn’t. The hypocrisy on here is outstanding at times. Football you are only as good as your last game what they have done in the past has no bearing on what they may achieve in the future unless you can buy the best players in the world of course.
Probably because they play in front of 81,000 fans at home, and their record of league finishes starting from last season going back is:

(currently 10th), 5th, 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, 2nd, 2nd, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 7th, 2nd, 2nd, 1st, 1st

In that period, they’ve won the German cup 3 times, the Supercup 3 times, and just last season were Champions League finalists.

Sahin’s record is P: 25, W: 12, D: 4, L: 9 and they are on course so far for their worst finish in 15 years, and second worst in 25 years. And they already crashed out of the cup in the second round, so Europe looking very unlikely for next season.

Hürzeler, on the other hand, is in a higher league position so far than last season’s finish, with a similar (but marginally worse) PPG record than Sahin, but having lost fewer games. The difference being that Brighton have had two top half finishes in the Premier League - ever. We’ve been in Europe once, and have never won any competition of note.

The expectations are completely different.

Add on top of that, the PL is the wealthiest, toughest and most evenly competitive league in world football, and the gulf in finances between the teams is far slimmer than the Bundesliga.

Sahin is underachieving, Hürzeler isn’t.

I don’t, but a PL season is 38 matches long, so I’m not about to wet the bed over one disappointing result.

Oh, and a reminder that we drew at home against both Sheffield Utd and Burnley last season - this was before De Zerbi mentally checked out - so the Southampton draw is hardly grounds for this magnitude of headloss.
Without dragging RDZ into the equation which I didn’t surely it’s only mid point in Bund to? Plenty of football left.

:facepalm: I haven’t dragged anyone into anything, it’s called a comparison - it’s meant to put things in perspective, and perspective is clearly something you lack if your response to a draw against Southampton is to call for the manager’s head. Did you want De Zerbi to go after the Sheffield Utd and Burnley results? If not, why should Hurzeler? We had lost more league matches under De Zerbi by this point in the season.

As for whether Sahin should go, yes, there are in fact plenty of games left for Dortmund to play. And if I were a Dortmund fan, I’d be questioning whether Sahin was the right manager to see out the season considering my expectations and his performance so far. All quite straightforward.

Sacked this morning.
