An angry Aston Villa fan goes viral this week for sending Man City’s newest signing Jack Grealish a 36-second video message.
The supporter reacted to Grealish’s £100 million move to Manchester by dramatically choosing to burn his shirt and then filmed it.
It has been confirmed that the current Premier League champions activated the Villa skipper’s release clause and signed him up to a six-year contract.

As was the case with Gareth Barry and Fabian Delph when they swapped Villa Park for the Etihad Stadium, there were some Villa fans who didn’t take Grealish’s departure well.
Grealish said: “I’ve been at Aston Villa for 19 years and I’ve been a fan my whole life. I’ve come up through the ranks and captained my club back to the top tier of English football. It’s impossible to put my feelings into words, but I’ll try.
“When I first came to Villa I had my own personal dreams and ambitions like getting into the first team, scoring my first goal & scoring the winner in a derby. It wasn’t until we got relegated that I felt a greater sense of purpose.
“Every time I put on the Villa shirt I played with my heart on my sleeve, being given the armband was both a privilege and an honour for me and my family and I’ve loved every minute of it.
“I want to thank the manager and my teammates, I’ll never forget everything we achieved together… and to the fans who have supported me through everything, I can’t thank you enough.
“To all my coaches and all the people who work at the club behind the scenes who have done so much for me over the years – thank you.
“I’ll always be a Villa fan — I love this club with all my heart and I hope you understand my reasons for seeking a new challenge.
“The club are in great hands, the manager, the lads, the new signings coming in — it’s an exciting time to be a Villa fan. I’ll see you all again soon. Until next time. UTV (Up the Villa). Jack.”

As mentioned, one fan posted a video of himself in his garden setting Grealish’s shirt alight to show his anger for a player he once loved.
The topless man held the Grealish shirt over a wall and placed the camera on the floor so it would capture him burning the jersey by blowtorching, before then using a lighter and flammable spray substance.
After setting it on fire, he held up the shirt to the camera and revealed a big hole where the lettering once was.

The clip was posted by the fan with a caption slamming boyhood Villa fan Grealish.
The post on Twitter read: “What an absolute snake he is #AVFC #Grealish. @JackGrealish don’t show your face in B6 ever again rat.”

@Bosey82: If you’re a Villa fan burning a Jack Grealish kit give your fucking head a shake. You’re embarrassing yourself not anyone else. Be upset, take the shirt back to the shop. You have that right. I’m sure they will change it out for you. Burning it makes you look a fucking bell end.
