Former Birmingham City midfielder Robbie Savage has claimed that Aston Villa are a "bigger club" than the Blues.
The now-retired Savage, also revealed that he would have left St Andrew's to join Villa, a move which would have mirrored manager Alex McLeish's switch during the summer.
"I loved my time at Birmingham, but arguably Aston Villa are a bigger club and I would have moved to them as a player," Savage told Football Focus.
The 36-year-old, who made 82 appearances in three years with the Blues, recently agreed to take part in the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing.
