# Aston Villa: Fans react to Jack Grealish tweet

**Former Aston Villa star Jack Grealish recently [responded](https://twitter.com/JackGrealish/status/1433746410168627201) to a [story](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/jack-grealish-aston-villa-england-21473066) by Ashley Preece of Birmingham Live, and a number of Villa fans have hit out at the 25-year-old’s reply on social media.**

Grealish is currently on international duty with England and recently spoke with [ITV](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZjmv0uGOKw) regarding his British record [£100m](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12371665/jack-grealish-signs-for-manchester-city-for-record-100m-fee-from-aston-villa) move to Manchester City in the summer, admitting that he needed to be playing Champions League football to enhance his international career.

[Preece](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/jack-grealish-aston-villa-england-21473066) then gave his thoughts to Grealish’s comments, describing the interview as a shocker which lacked class. The Birmingham Live reporter posted a link to his story on Friday via [Twitter](https://twitter.com/PreeceObserver/status/1433739514133032964), with Grealish [replying](https://twitter.com/JackGrealish/status/1433746410168627201) directly to Preece upon reading the article.

Grealish labelled the story as the ‘most one-sided article’ he’s ever seen and pulled up Preece on the “classless” and “jealous” claims.

### Villa fans react

As to be expected, a lot of Villa supporters were quick to reply to their former captain, with many in Preece’s corner. One even made unfavourable comparisons with Fabian Delph, who in 2015 [reneged on his apparent desire](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-transfers-fabian-delph-9678724) to remain with the club, instead transferring to Manchester City.

**“mad that you notice someone being classless but not when it’s you doing it.”**

**“I’m so disappointed in you. Shown us no respect, fans, supporters, and Dean. Would love to see Pep at Walsall and Brentford without the oil money, enjoy your wealth!”**

**“Yeah the “this has made my year” comment on seeing the 10 on a Man City shirt was pretty classless – considering that many Villa fans were convinced that they’d never see JG in anything other than a Villa shirt.”**

**“Your club but you insisted on a release clause”**

**“Show us a bit more respect rather than running your mouth as to how your move has ‘100%’ made you a better player in a month. You bailed out on the project you said you believed in less than 12 months into a 5 year deal”**
