But nor are Forest, Ipswich or (arguably) Newcastle. At that point, Villa were one of the best teams in Europe, let alone England.
Don't forget, in either the first or second season of The Premiership (can't remember which one), Villa were runners up in the league, and it took Man U 25 years to win the league (for that matter, Arsenal haven't managed back-to-back Championships for about 30 years).
