Jack Grealish is not a happy camper.

The Aston Villa youngster has been left absolutely devastated by the news that Tim Sherwood was removed from his position as Villa manager on Sunday afternoon. Sherwood had given Grealish his big break in the first team last season and backed the 20-year-old to the hilt, nurturing him into one of the trickiest attacking prospects in the league. Grealish sent this farewell message to Sherwood on Sunday after, the night before, having insisted that it was the players' responsibility and not Sherwood's that Villa had lost at home to Swansea on Saturday. https://twitter.com/JackGrealish1/status/658262187480326144 https://twitter.com/JackGrealish1/status/657982998562914304?lang=en David Moyes was initially installed as odds-on favourite to be the next Villa manager, but news from France suggests that the club are in advanced talks with former Arsenal midfielder Remi Garde to be Sherwood's replacement.
