Has any 'cross the city divide' move ever worked out?

With the exception of Ridgewell for them (and us).  He was their version of Cambiasso.
Remember Blues had a big striker in the late '70's. Peter somebody... Peter Wothe? Wathe? summat like that anyway.  He did OK when he came to us! :)

He also re-crossed the City divide and played for "them" again in the late 80s. Can't be many players that have done that

maybe if Sir Brian passed his medical he would have had one season there and then come back to us

Some one called last night and reckoned it was Garde who was causing fights in the stands and was totally to blame for our current situation.......

It depends what you mean by 'cross the city divide'. Mcleish walked out on Blues to manage Villa. Spink played for another 3 clubs before he even became a coach under Steve Bruce.
To be fair to Nigel Spink when asked why he went to the Blues he said "The Villa have never offered me a job". That is all it was to him, a job. Family to support means he needed a job

And that is what I imagine it comes down to for most players.  Offer from another club without having to uproot family and move house is probably all they see.

Jason just on WM "is all this really Randy Lerners fault"?"

Even call me Franksy had to pull him up.

Everyone's entitled to an opinion but it baffles me sometimes. I shouldn't be surprised I suppose.

They offer Tom Fox £1.25M per year and Spink (European Cup Winner) zilch...

Anyone listen earlier tonight?  Eddie the Albion fan had a meltdown and began accusing people of "slagging him off".  You could hear Franksy and Reego pissing themselves in the background as he carried on.

Good call from someone tonight laying into Agbonlahor and accusing him of dining out on two winning goals against Small Heath.  Though call me Franksie seemed more interested in scolding him for being rude about Blues

A Stripey on at the end was saying we should accept that we're the smallest club on the patch now as all the others are progressing
