In my opinion Powell will probably be sacked as mutual consent by Monday night. I am a Powell supporter, and for the greater good, would see the sacking of Powell as an unwise decision, however, something has to change and if it's the manager then it's the manager.
It isn't working and its not looking like we will get results if we carry on down this path, I'm sure our current manager would even agree to an extent. Something bold has to be done.
Brian McDermott would be my number 1 choice to replace Powell.

Malky.
He can try and get his record for number of promotions next season, when we're in League 1
The only hope we have is giving Powell the proper resources. Which he has been stripped of by the last incumbents and the new owner.

Given his propensity to sell players out from under a manager and buy players the manager doesn't want can you see any of McDermott, Mackay or Curbs taking the job. RD needs a coach not a manager. If Chris gets the tin tack I predict we will be completely underwhelmed by the replacement
1.Curbs
2.Mackay
3. Steven Pressley (working wonders at Coventry with good, local and young players from the academy)
4.Steve Clarke
5. Neil Warnock (only as an impact manager, not long-term.)
In a dream world: Pochettino or someone with a similar footballing philosophy, I.e. Press high, dominate possession, defend, hassle the opposition, score goals!
A fresh approach is needed though it has to move with the times, whether our owners are d*cks or not. We have them, and it probably requires a new manager that can see things more objectively and has not been dragged down by the disrespect our owners gave to Powell.
