I think he needs a season out of the game just to try and get some enjoyment back in his life. He looks down in the dumps being involved in the game at the minute and his mind seems muggled with who is to blame for his sides poor form.
Ever since 2017, he’s looked like a man who cannot understand why his teams aren’t blitzing sides by 40 or 50 points each week. That season was a freak, a one off along the lines of Leicester City winning the premier league. They got momentum and they had teams beat before kick off most weeks. They built that year around two men though (Hardaker and Gale) and both have moved on. I think the time has come for Powell to follow them.
