Budge is so desperate to take us down this route it is pathetic. I want a big stinking multi million pound dirty sponsor. I don't care about being virtuous. There is plenty of place for that outside football. This is just classic self fulfillment from Budge in her crusade to make her and the club look 'nice'. ‘I want’ doesn’t get’ remember that from your younger days? Tough shit.

DETTY29 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) 1 hour ago, Wilson said: Much better we get a sponsor to encourage more of us to drink and gamble. Probably for less money too. Yeah, But the immediate upturn in on field performances would be worth it. Shirt sponsors, not the coaching, nor the players, nor the tactics...... If I put Hearts to win on my betting slip, that's what will happen and if it doesn't I'll get pissed and imagine a different scoreline.

tian447 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 There are certain things that certain posters need to shut the **** up about and realise are totally out of line for criticising. 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.

Smithee Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 1 hour ago, So Make Some Noise.. said: A lot of comments in this thread highlight just how much we'll find anything to either moan about or bad mouth the club and/or the owners. None of this will come at the expense of better sponsorship money and anyone who thinks that way likely has no business sense. It's actually amazing, if you could pick one thing where you'd think surely there can't be anything negative here, it would be a worthwhile charity getting free advertising on the front of your kit while the club earns money from a benefactor.
