Moaning about Hearts being sponsored by a charity is the lowest of the the ****ing low. I am getting absolutely sick and tired of reading it on every single thread, but this one is just too far. MND is a devastating illness, one that affects many people in the country, some of our supporters, some of our family members, and our old Club Captain who recently passed away due to it. Imagine being so far up your own arse that you dare question why the club might be going down this route, instead of getting (how did you word it), "a big stinking multi million pound dirty sponsor"? **** right off. 100% with you!

I just find it odd that an announcement of our new major shirt sponsor has absolutely zero mention of finance like 99.99% of all other major shirt sponsors. I don't need to know exact amounts. I dont even need to know the x figure sum over x years. I'm simply observing it's unusual for neither of these things to be mentioned. My use of "suspicious" was a wrong choice of words and appears to have people thinking I'm having a pop at the club. I'm not.

Jambo-Fox Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 It (new shirt sponsor) feels a little bit disappointing & underwhelming! Whilst the cause (& I’m sure the commercial aspects) are admirable & I do recognise the devastating impact the illness has the sponsorship doesn’t feel quite ambitious enough for the Hearts I want! Having a local sponsor feels a step down from a national one (ie Save the Children) and certainly falls short of an international one. Maybe this reflects Hearts ambitions as a club, ie local not national or international! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weegie jambo Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 This is wonderful news and is a credit to Hearts that we have continued with a charity sponsorship and a great tribute to Zal. On a side issue I've just watched Ruth Davidson's Channel 4 documentary on betting companies sponsorship in football. Some truly shocking facts were revealed. I'm no fan of the Tories but she did a good job of exposing a blight on society that does football no credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made my comment, I’ve nothing to add so let’s all move on …. Fair play. I do try to understand an opinion I can’t share. I respect we’re all different. Usually disappointment comes with some clarification, in this case maybe you’d like a better cosmetic look to the shirt, or perhaps the value (if known) of the deal underwhelms. As a deal it’s a pretty shrewd move, two new associates with our club now, one massive international business and another a charity with VERY close ties to us now. The deal will be praised not panned by people outside the club I’m sure. Maybe you can’t put your finger on it, hopefully it’ll seem less disappointing in the cold light of day. But maybe the club isn’t the one you want it to be. Peace out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
