I think most posters/ football fans will totally agree that it was a very boring game.

Games need to be entertaining to watch and even more so for the fans that paid to go there, when you think most of the team players make thousands of pounds a week when playing for their clubs.

They won't go much further if they play like that again and thank goodness we are not play the Germans next.

Going for Gold this summer. ITV.

The television broadcaster will be counting on an advertising sales boost during the coverage of the Euros with streaming matches on ITVX platform.

AJ Bell says Euros will provide a boost to advertising spend. He points out that shares up about 35% so far this year they are still down 25% from 5 years ago.

So now is the time to buy , City analysts put a 92p price target ans some also argue that there could be a takeover to send the SP higher with Netflex as a potential preditor..

So it looks like 2 very big buys of 11m+ yesterday at about 1pm that didn't show up as buys on the daily total. Were they buy backs ?

Let's hope we see many more buys that size today. !!!!!

Looks like I am going to be wrong with my 84p at close today. It must be tomorrow then.

This has followed a pattern lately where the SP has fallen in the morning and then once the buy backs have kicked in the afternoon the SP has risen nicely.

But will it follow that pattern today and finish up at 84p by 4.25pm

I think yes .

Does anything that happens in this election have any affects on ITV sp.

First I thought if Labour win the market will go down but it seems that the bigger the Labour majority the more ITV shares seem to go up. Or is it that no matter what happens ITV are going to make £1 + regardless because the ITV financials are now in place. In all honesty I don't care who wins as long as these get to £1+ in the next 2 weeks.

Good morning all, I can't say I always agree with what tom says but on this I think Labour will change the CGT set-up in that we will all end up paying more tax on shares and Divi's.

Also yesterday I read that Labour are now saying that won't put VAT on private schools until the end of the first year.

That's good news if true for Mums & Dads not having to pay more , but doesn't that also mean they won't have the money to spend on more teachers for the state schools. Is this another case of Labour changing their minds even before they are in power???. Or did I miss read that.

Hi LWHL, yes this is all just normal practice for most companies.

But the main point you seem to have forgotten is the BOD's of MCG like many other company BOD's is that they are in this for themselves and not the shareholders.

They just don't care what happens to us, and once you come to terms of that life is a little more simple to live with.

When companies hold their AGM 's they often put into them the ideas and things they might want to do at some stage over the coming years.

Once these items have been voted and passed by the shareholders they can sit on the companies agreements for years without being acted on but then might need re-voting on. This AGM has just got the idea passed, it does not mean they will do it but when they decide the time could be right they will then issue and RNS saying how much they want to spend or/and how many shares they might buy back. We could be years away from that stage , but if/when the BOD's decide they want to do it, it is already passed and ready to go.

I wouldn't put too much faith /hope in that happening for the next 3-6 months . only my view but that's how it works.

Another broker up date now £1.20.

Every one helps to push that SP up.

Oh at least, it wouldn't be worth it otherwise would it. !!!!!!!

Yes great to see such a good start, but we all know it won't last even though we all want it to.

Would be nice to see 82p-85p but wouldn't be surprised to see 77p again. that's life.

The Board notes that, although it was approved, Resolution 3 on the reappointment of Paul Moody (Chairman) as a Director, received less than 80% support and accordingly we will engage with shareholders to fully understand shareholder concerns, and provide an update on further consultations within six months of today's AGM in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code.

So does that mean he could be gone in 6 months or just swept under the carpet until things settle down with SP going up to £1.25 ????

" They can now buyback shares. "

Yes they have now passed that option /approval in the AGM , but I have seen anything yet that says they will actually start doing that.

Maybe sometime in the next year would help.

Should be in , in about 5 weeks then.

Then we will rocket to £1.25.

So any news or negative news coming from AGM anyone ?

But some of us have had very poor low interest rates on savings at 0.25%-0.50%, so for me I would like to see 5% + for the next year.

Although after hearing Starmer on the Radio Labour look like they are going to tax your savings, now that won't go down well.

Agree, they have a chance tomorrow to tell us if things are going well and that should help the SP.

But will they.?????

It's all a matter of perspective , if you bought these at anything from 80p-£1+ it's a dog but if you have bought these in the high 60's or low 70's it's a great buy. Simple.
