I love to kick Hearts as much as the next man but I can't see much to criticise in that.

Absolutely no difference whether its Save the Children or Wonga, ..... Hearts are being paid to display the logo on their shirts, they're not doing this for "charity"

A seven figure sum over three years being split between the club and the charity. Being funded by "philanthropy".
So if hertz weren't involved this philanthropist would be giving Save the Children at least another half a million quid.
Same old club, robbing charities and **** the Children.

A Save the children are using donations to buy space on the Hearts top or
B Some loaded Hearts fan/fans cut a deal with Save the Children were they give them the 7 figure sum on the understanding it is used to buys space on Hearts tops and they will gift aid it and claim 20% back for the Charity and all the donators will right it off on their accounts as a charitable donation.
Good work dodging tax and yet still looking good :0

You'd think Save The Children would have done a bit of research into who they were aligning themselves with.Last edited by CockneyRebel; 01-04-2015 at 11:55 AM.

The irony of their history of kiddy fiddling and stealing money from children's charities will be totally lost on them as well.
The # makes it even more cringe.

April Fools Surely...a club who have employed a convicted peodofile as their Manager and have had a player on their books convicted for the same offence in recent times gain a tie up with 'save the children', you seriously could not make this up

All the credit should go to the anonymous benefactor but in saying that Anne Budge seems to be doing stuff in the correct manner.

Sorry but I think this is purely a publicity issue. "Look at us, look at what this club is doing, we are so full of love for the world" - full of if you ask me.

After all they have done, the irony in them doing this is off the scale.
Really have no shame that lot!

Looks like a Win Win for Hearts and the charity. Football can be a power for good. I don't see anything wrong there.
Every gimmick hungry yob,
Digging gold from rock and roll
Grabs the mic to tell us,
He'll die before he's sold.

They are a bunch of publicity slags tbh. If its not the living wage, its charity sponsors. I remember people on kickback saying once we survive liquidation we will start a fund to pay the 180 odd small local companies that got bumped. Needless to say that never happened.

Evening News comments are interesting - they are removing factual comments about Hearts previously employing sex offenders and charities losing money in their administration.
They might be trying to change but those things are facts that shouldn't be forgotten.

the grunts absolutely love publicity, any publicity, good or bad makes no difference they just love being in the media, as for budge i'l give her credit if she publicly states that she would like to compensate all the local creditors this club recently bumped, i take it no one has pointed out the irony of her club 'saving the children' when that club has employed sex offenders in recent years couldn't make this up eh

If this was an April Fools joke, it would surely class as the least funny joke ever.
This is all part of Hearts being re-branded as the kind, caring club, nice to children and little kittens. Any references to anything bad in our past will be denied and deleted.
Oh and have they asked Hibs for permission to use the Hibernian FC Crest on their official website? I think Hibs should be told and a request made that it is removed immediately.

Disgusting, no shame whatsoever. What's worse is the media making them look like bastions of social conscience. Let us never forget what they are.

Hearts should always be referred to as serial employer of convicted sex pests and stiffer of charities, small business and pensions.

Radio forth suggesting they are the first uk club to carry a charity on their shirt, Aston Villa might be shocked to hear that
