Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to respond to the latest announcement regarding club captain Jack Grealish. 

This comes after the official Villa Twitter account shared a post on their page that contained a statement from their official club website.

Villa's 2017/18 season began with a 1-1 draw against which team?

The statement revealed that the club is “deeply disappointed” that Grealish ignored the government’s advice and left his home earlier in the week. It also added that Grealish “will be disciplined and fined with the proceeds donated to The University Hospitals Charity in Birmingham”.

Should Jack Grealish be stripped of the Villa captaincy?

Yes

Yes

No

No

This post then gathered a lot of replies from Villa fans who were eager to have their say on this situation.

Here’s a sample of Villa fans responding to the post:

This all comes after Grealish reportedly crashed his car after leaving his home last weekend (per Daily Express). Now that the club has come out and revealed that they have punished Grealish for his actions and ignoring the government guidelines on staying inside, this has sparked a huge reaction from Villa fans who are disappointed with the Englishman’s behaviour.

What do we think?

It was terribly irresponsible for Grealish to be going out unnecessarily when the top authorities had advised against it. It’s good to know that the club has taken action and have punished Grealish accordingly.
