Better is subjective.
Better potential, better lines of income, better facilities, better infrastructure, better academy and so on.
We should have really, we've been one of the largest clubs in the country for nearly 140 years. Even struggling we have one of the 6 or 7 largest incomes in the league and often top 20 in europe.
With the exception of Birmingham City, no club is essentially better than another. But some clubs have more going for them and I'm sorry to say(well, not really), that list in favour of Villa is considerable.
It doesnt mean Lambert is going to come here but there are plenty of pretty obvious reasons why he would.
By the way I wish Norwich all the best. Always a club I've admired. A proper club indeed.
