Aston Villa fans here in the Tavern are hoping for a better season next time round after missing out on promotion to the Premier League. Although, they’ll be hoping for a couple of positive pieces of news to get them back on track.

Steve Bruce’s men had a fine season last time out but they weren’t able to secure promotion to the Premier League. So, the club will be desperate to find a way to go one better next time round.

Fortunately, there’s still a couple of months left before the start of next season, so a couple of clever pieces of business in June will be sure to put supporters in a great mood.

It’s important that Villa don’t change too much from last season as they came so close to enjoying promotion, so the month of June could have a huge say on how next season pans out for the Villains.

So, here’s TWO things that could send Villa fans into a frenzy…

Jack Grealish pledges future

Jack Grealish established himself as one of Villa’s standout performers last season and is arguably one of the most promising players in English football.

However, a number of clubs have reportedly submitted their interest in the Englishman this summer.

Indeed, keeping hold of Jack Grealish this summer would be huge for Villa’s chances of securing promotion next season.

And, many of our local residents are even going as far as saying that this would be one of the best months in the club’s history if Jack Grealish pledges his future to Villa.

Steve Bruce staying on

Steve Bruce worked wonders at Villa Park last season, as he spearheaded their promotion push and very nearly took them up.

Although, his future continues to be surrounded with uncertainty as he is still yet to be told whether he will remain at the club.

But, the signs do look positive as the Englishman has stated that he does want to remain in charge at the crisis club.

So, supporters could be in for an incredible month if the club decides to keep him on, as he has his sights set firmly on promotion to the Premier League.
