whom he played over 400 league games, believes the new facilities
will help attract the best players to the club.
"It is absolutely fantastic - brilliant. No cost has been spared.
They have gone to town and it is absolutely awesome," said Cowans.
"It is going to help the manager attract players."

Aston Villa chief executive Richard FitzGerald has promised fans
only "top class" signings during the summer.
"Our number one objective is to have a winning team and for that
you need winning players and winning players need to be treated
correctly,'' he said at the launch of the club's new training
facilities.
"I certainly hope it's a real statement of the club's ambition. If
you bring someone here, then clearly this is a deciding
factor.
"It's a very important part of the overall package as a player, not
only in attracting new players but retaining the ones we've
got."
