I like McGinn, and if/when he does leave us, I would feel a bit disappointed.
As long as he is at Villa, I will continue to support him. When he is on tune, I am happy. When he is off form, I just want him to improve.
I wanted Ty to keep the armband, and Emi M would have been a sound vice captain. I won't begrudge SG or John for the decision that has been made. FTR John McGinn would have been my third choice.
Compared to previous seasons, especially having Micah Richards as captain, we seem to be quite flush with leaders on the pitch now. I would think some of our current players would be better than Grealish as captain.
This could go either three ways. It does diddly. It has a negative effect, and all the doomsayers are proven right, or it could be a masterstroke, in which it reignites form and passion within two of our most senior players. I am going to be an optimist, and hoping that it is a masterstroke.
Anyway, this is just a pixel, making up a small part of the big picture. If Villa are winning, I couldn't care less who wears the arm garter.
