The Comedian Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 The Barcelona thread got me thinking regarding our current shirt sponsor Ukio. Do we actually receive a fee for that? If we don't receive any finacial reward should we tender for outside sponsors again like we've done previously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Future's Maroon Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Is it not part of the deal with them not charging interest on our debt? I am sure the club have said they look for 'outside' sponsors every season, but always end back with UKIO?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Gosling Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Ukio pay us something like ?600,000 per season to sponsor us - this is removed from our interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the owners & board of HMFC & UBIG/UKIO who provide the money and also the sponsorship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Comedian Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 Who is this 'WE' ? Do you mean the owners & board of HMFC & UBIG/UKIO who provide the money and also the sponsorship? Yes. I was wondering if we freely advertised UKIO because they own the club and thought that we were missing out on outside investment. That appears to not be the case.

Charlie-Brown Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Advertising, Hospitality & other Commercial Income like Sponsorship for SPL clubs & Scottish football is at a low ebb and a hard sell just now. it's easy to see why Sponsors would be falling over themselves to be associated with FC Barcelona given the worldwide exposure they receive but until SPL clubs and Hearts start making a better impact in terms of increasing media and audience exposure we'll just have to settle for what money we can get.

Tasavallan Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Yes. I was wondering if we freely advertised UKIO because they own the club and thought that we were missing out on outside investment. That appears to not be the case. Ukio Bankas do not own the club. Hearts is a subsidiary of UBIG which has no direct link to UB although Vlad owns both companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney Devine Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I thought I had heard (I think on here) that the reason for this seasons shirt launch being delayed was due to the 'new' shirt sponsor withdrawing from the deal? This then resulted us missing the production run with Umbro and we were put to the end???? Anyone confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is UBIG not Ukio Bankas Investment Group. If so then I would think it has got direct links........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Canada Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I had a meeting recently with someone from McEwan Fraser and only one of the 3 directors is a Hibs fan, the other two are die hard Jambos, including the guy I spoke to.

Bungalow Bill Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Have been told that we are looking for a new sponsor next year. Was also told we have received mock ups of next seasons strip from umbro and adidas who are tendering for the deal should we get out of the umbro deal which I am led to believe we are keen to do. Source is my mate who is in marketing and has contacts in Hearts marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
givememychoice Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I had a meeting recently with someone from McEwan Fraser and only one of the 3 directors is a Hibs fan, the other two are die hard Jambos, including the guy I spoke to. I can confirm this to be utter rubbish. Scott Fraser is a Hibs fan. Neil Morgan is a big Celtic fan. Ken Mcewan doesnt have a clue about football. (he made a sizeable bet on france to beat senegal in the first match of the 2002 world cup (it was about ?1k) at rubbish odds). Source? I used to work with all 3 at another company. Ken may claim to support a club, but if he does, he is one of these armchair fans.the first 2 both have( well used to, i dont have latest info!) season tickets for the aforementioned clubs.
