But actually, traditionally, Aston Villa are a bigger club than Chelsea if you go back over the years. Theyre a massive club, theyve won everything.Dean Saunders discusses which club is bigger between Chelsea and Aston Villa The Welshmans comments sparked a huge reaction online, with Villa fans hailing him as a legend while Blues and neutral supporters thought hed lost the plot.Not all with Villa allegiances agreed, though, with Carscarino and fellow former claret and blue striker Darren Bent both insisting Chelsea have eclipsed the 1982 European Cup winners.Cascarino told talkSPORT on Thursday: The answer is obviously difficult because in different periods one club has been bigger than the other.But, if youre looking at the last decade, Villa are miles behind Chelsea.Villa are the fifth most successful club in English football, but Chelsea – crowned Europa League champions last week – are the fourth with four more major trophies in their cabinetgetty3

If you want take it back further, Andy Townsend left Chelsea to go to Villa in the early 90s, thats when Villa were a very strong club and they were even stronger in the early 80s when they were European Champions.When I joined Villa, I knew I had joined a big club. I loved being there, I wore the number 9 shirt Peter With had worn and wore it with great pride.Of course Villa was a huge club at that particular time, but if were talking about the last decade no.Ex-Villa striker Darren Bent added: Yeah I agree. Villa are obviously a massive club, but if you talk about right now youve got to say Chelsea.They won the Champions League not that long ago, theyre always winning trophies and have won Premier Leagues.Its not like the Manchester United/Manchester City situation where United are a bigger club because their history is still quite recent, but Aston Villas [success] was a while ago compared to what Chelsea are doing now.Youve got to be honest and right now I think everyone would say Chelsea.Lliverpool’s latest European triumph put them level with Man United for trophies won by English clubs, though Villa are not far behind Chelsea when it comes to glory3
