They'll have agreements in place with both teams and they're the only two Brum teams in the Prem so I imagine it's that rather than any other more sinister reason.The clubs don't own the photos. I think he means that the Mail do (or at least have paid for the rights to use them).So if the Mail do a story about Kyle Bartley, they're more likely to use a photo that they have on file (or at least already paid for) from his time at Blues rather than pay for a photo of him playing for Swansea or Arsenal.It's just that they'd be using that stock photo to save time and money, rather than using it to annoy Villa fans by illustrating a story about a potential Villa transfer with a picture of the player in a Blues shirt.
