da doce： Aston Villa have had a shocking, shocking season. It’s been about as bad as its ever been at Villa Park and their supporters have been let down time and time again.
da mrbet： Whilst Villa have been incredibly poor on the pitch, they’ve also had numerous off-the-field controversies that have blighted their season.
Who could forget Joleon Lescott’s “pocket tweet” or Brad Guzan’s keepy-uppy attempt with his chewing gum at Wycombe Wanderers? Jack Grealish has been pictured a handful of times on nights out after terrible Aston Villa performances and many have criticised the youngsters’ attitude as he attempts to break into the first team.
Jack Grealish was superb when he broke onto the scene with Villa a couple of years ago. Fearless, skillful and passionate, he was the young lion that the Villa faithful had longed for. He was supposed to be the player the squad was built around but it’s clear to see that this didn’t happen.
Managerial changes have had an impact but it was Grealish’s off-the-field actions that began his slippery slide back into the reserves. Grealish was reprimanded by his club last summer after being pictured unconscious whilst on a holiday in Tenerife. He’s also been pictured next to £1000 bottles of vodka and footage taken by The Sun appeared to show him inhaling from a white balloon the year before, with the substance commonly known as “hippy crack”.
Perhaps it’s another tale of too much money and fame too soon. But it’s also a great shame. Jack Grealish was supposed to be the next hope, the future. But it’s all gone to nothing because of youthful inexperience. We see it more and more in modern football, but it also shows a lack of guidance and management. These young players need to remain grounded, despite wages ever-increasing.

He came on during the 4-0 defeat to Chelsea last week and immediately looked like Villa’s best player. He was short of fitness and first team match action but showed more promise and attacking prowess than any Villa player has in months. It proves that had Jack Grealish stayed out of the news, out of the headlines, he could have been the man to have led Aston Villa’s attempt to beat the chop.
Even if he is being re-introduced to the squad slowly at this late stage, the possibility of Grealish being at the club next season remains unlikely. Villa’s relegation will undoubtedly be the catalyst for a number of first-team departures, but it remains unlikely that Villa fans would want to see Grealish leave.
He made mistakes and he’s arguably wrecked his own season. But the potential remains and he needs to prove to the Villa hierarchy he can do the job coming towards the end of the season. It’s a frustrating story – a player who could have helped save his boyhood club but made the wrong decisions at the wrong time.
It’s too late now but hopefully in the future Grealish can go on to become the player that many thought he would.
