Jack Grealish reacted as all Aston Villa supporters would to news that Birmingham City are being deducted nine points.
Blues breached the EFL’s profitability and sustainability regulations and have been docked points as a punishment, with Garry Monk’s side set to drop well down the Championship table as a result.
Having been sitting comfortably mid-table on 50 points, Birmingham are now only five points ahead of the bottom three, and their recent woeful form suggests a relegation battle is on the cards over the final weeks of the season.
Blues have lost each of their previous four matches without scoring a goal, with the Second City derby earlier this month the second game of that shocking run of results.

That match hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons as a Birmingham supporter invaded the pitch and punched Jack Grealish in the back of the head.
Grealish got the last laugh, however, as he scored the winning goal and then saw the supporter, later named as Paul Mitchell, jailed for the assault.
