Had great potential, fuck knows what happened. I remember there was the tug of war between Scotland and England over who he would play for. In the end he played for neither aside from one 2min appearance for the England U21's or something.

 

We were interested in calling him up. Think he was the reason we got the gentlemans agreement changed with the other home nations to allow players who had been schooled in a country for a certain amount of time to be called up. That is the only reason Rhodes is eligible for Scotland. Even after we got the agreement changed he was still illegible to play for us!

did we not manage to pull a bit of jiggery pokery to get him in after we were told he hadn't completed enough days at school to be eligible*?

Massively over rated player

Injuries have taken their toll and he has spent too long in the gym resulting in bulking out and in consequence loosing his main threat on the park, his pace. I agree that a lot of Hearts players were on ridiculous money, just ask the fans who had to watch some of the wage thieves every week. Cunts on 8,10 and supposedly 15 grand a week going through the motions. Do you think we fucking enjoyed it? I'd rather pay to watch a player giving his all for the jersey or competitive pride than hand over my hard earned to give to those who obviously couldn't give a fuck.

is vlad having to sell the family silver, hearts and whatever else, to keep his bank on the go? what's the plan?

His bank is fucked, non solvent. What's the plan? Fuck knows but I do know my drinking consumption has just went biblical. I hear that the main aim at the moment is to gather enough dosh to pay the first instalment for the tax bill (500,000) and to keep us going till the end of the season in wages. Fuck knows!

maybe mercer was right way back when, who's to know. someone somewhere will be working on what happens next to hearts.

The Great Waldo was so wrong to think that back then. What is forgotten is that there was as many Hearts fans against his reasoning than there was Hibs. It may have been common sense to a businessman like him but when does common sense drive a football supporter? That episode was the start of the true hatred between the 2 clubs I think. The Derby games used to be a bit fruity but after that they got vicious. Saying that the games against Celtic always have a toxic atmosphere and it's not sectarian, it's more of a "weegie" thing as the games against the old rangers were very similar before they went tits up.
