Aston Villa supporters are pining the blame for their struggles on Steve Bruce.
Aston Villa fans are blaming Steve Bruce for their need to sell Jack Grealish this summer.
Villa have hit financial difficulties, following their failure to earn promotion to the Premier League last term.
The claret and blues lost to Fulham in the play off final, despite spending big on wages, and they are now having to have a clear out this summer.
Bruce has admitted to Sky Sports that it’s inevitable that Grealish will be sold in the coming weeks.
He said: “He is a special talent, a real special talent, and yes, you don’t want to lose him but the inevitable thing is we have to. We have to – to keep the club up and running and keep it in line with Financial Fair Play.”
But Villa supporters have offered no sympathy to Bruce, with many claiming he is to blame for their struggles.
Losing Grealish could be a huge blow to Villa’s chances next season, when Bruce faces a major challenge to make his side competitive.
The claret and blues have a very limited budget, and are likely to be heavily reliant on loans and free transfers.
