Aston Villa are on course to finishing in the top-six and securing a playoff spot at the end of the campaign.
Aston Villa supporters on Twitter have provided a mixed reaction to the reports that Sean Kimberley has left the club.
The Birmingham Mail claims that long-term Youth Coach Kimberley has departed the Midlands outfit as another high-profile figure leaves Villa Park.
It is said that the senior figures in Villa’s boardroom are looking at ways in improving the club’s academy by making it more productive – and it seems bringing in fresh ideas is one way forward.
Nonetheless, Kimberley has been at Villa since 2007 and he held his current role for the past five years, but it now seems that he has parted ways with his boyhood club.
Here is a selection of Villa supporters reacting to the report that Kimberley has departed the Midlands outfit:
Villa have had a number of top players come through their academy in recent seasons, but not many have been given the opportunity in the first team.
Jack Grealish is the standout name and he has showcased his worth in the senior side as he is arguably the club’s best player.
