Without delving into the past of either club..
How are Liverpool a better attraction than Aston Villa? (other than our recent piss poor appointment of a manager?)
You honestly believe we are even close to being as attractive as Liverpool are?
They are a global brand, huge, massive, known world wide!
We ahead of them regards training facilities, ground, stadium etc.
Anfield is in dire need of upgrading.
Bodymoor Heath is one of the best training grounds in the world.
Our corporate facilities, location to BHX International airport etc are top drawer.
Aston Villa is all set.. We just need the right manager to take us forward..All the facilities,ground, backing are top class.
Liverpool have gone backwards and need to re-invest in their ground, facilities etc to bring them into the modern era. They strive on past successes. And at this present time are not a better attraction to a player than Aston Villa(other than our piss poor managerial appoinment)..Downing was willing to sign a new contract under Houllier.
You're talking about Anfield......along with Camp Nou and the San Siro, probably one of the most iconic football grounds in the world?
By that argument, you're also saying that MK Dons are ahead of Liverpool as they have a nice new shiny stadium.
