Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Six long years of a useless CEO who with the help of a management with no acumen and this is where we are, the usual idiots on LSE still defending the indefensible! A sub 70p share price and nobody is buying, well not strictly true as ITV use their £235 million shareholder funds to buyback duff shares in the company they have put on it's knees. A bid coming, Jam tomorrow, Mr Bates and whatever the heck daily boost is, no one is buying.
Dame McCall, please retire and tend the garden of the house you bought with your gigantic undeserved pay and bonuses. And do us all a favour and take at least 75% of you sycophantic overpaid board with you!
I think ITV need not worry about the competition, Kevin Lygo has just scuppered sales of Mr Bates. Why worry about promoting your shows when Mr Lygo tells the world your top show is a loser. I can't stop laughing, who needs enemies when they have Lygo on board, what a waste of space!

Well, isn't it hilarious how someone of your obvious low caliber fails to recognise the merit in salvaging a struggling FTSE company? Clearly, turning around a ship destined to sink doesn't count as an achievement in your book.
Windy, Robthe nob, how witty you are, not funny! But what is hilarious is your statement that ITV were struggling when in January 2018 the gaff prone posh bird arrived. On that day the share price was a struggling £1.67p and the company was ready for it's new broom so to speak. So what happened next, well Windy the Dame certainly got hold of reins and burst into action. From that lowly share price of 167p she went tooth and nail into turning ITV around, well Windy I won't bother trying to educate that vacant space between your ears, I will let today's close of 70p portray what she has achieved......a fall of 60% plus over six years. What a turn around, what a plonker!
Attention, new investors: Be wary of WimbledonTom's motives, aimed at impeding ITV's advancement. His persistent attacks on the CEO, are his primary tactic. He frequently adopts alternate pseudonyms. Those who recently sold their shares, before results, because they were influenced by his nonsense are no doubt regretting it.
Winstanley or should I should I say Windbag, I find your disregard to others is brought about by your ignorance and high opinion of yourself. As if any investor would sell their ITV stake because of a post from Wimbledon Tom, or me or you for that matter. You style of investing is a road to the poor house and your belief that McCall is a great CEO shows how dumb you are.
What a joke, someone who thinks destroying the value of a FTSE company by 70% is a great achievement, time you cashed in your chips me old mate, you are demeneted!
The City see Dame Carolyn McCall as an old woke elitist who lost her way after riding the market forces at Easyjet, Her time at Easyjet was from 2010 to 2017. Well timed Carolyn as the world recovered from the 08/09 meltdown Carolyn looked good as the rising tide raised her boat along with every other in the water.
To anyone with a jot of acumen, it is clear she gained her spurs by default and every week that goes by we are reminded that she has made ITV into a Woke Joke and this buyback is a farce. She claimed that the buyback would benefit long suffering shareholders who have seen their investment shrink like a pound shop pair of knickers! Every ITV thread is sick of her, she has proved that her Easyjet success was nothing to do with her and all to do with a Global recovery, she has no clue, another old posh bird riding on the kerosine fumes of her time at Easyjet. She must go and soon if ITV are to recover from her six years of abject failure.
An extensive stock portfolio consisting of a dozen or more companies is a big mistake for investors. It is also, in fact, an admission of one's ignorance, lack of understanding of the market, ignorance of market trends or lack of knowledge to determine them.
POGO old Warren Buffett and a bunch of other Billionaire investors have been doing it all wrong. No two successful investors are the same, your the ignorant one! But good luck anyway, on your quest!
Then the local trolls will be silent for a few weeks, only to return to the glory of those who made purchases below 60 pence, love the CEO and are triumphant today, unlike the local investors and plebs.
Pogo or Puggled! when are due back on the Planet Earth? What a stupid post, you have ITV owing you twice the 60p you wish was your stand in price. From 200p to 70p is the real world!
Solley, thanks for telling us that ITV aren't RR, what an observation. ITV's dismal non growth and demise are certainly not a comparison to any other Media company if you think the RR comparison is unfair. Is there another that has been such a loser? How anyone with an investment in this dog can constantly defend the company's lacklustre Board of Directors is beyond me.
Nothing moves the share price and we all know it will stay plodding along until they get shot of the useless Dame who lives in a world where a 6th rate ham actress come faux Princess can sway decisions for a Public company CEO. Talk about the Post Office scandal, what about the ITV scandal where ordinary shareholders have seen their life savings disappear. You are correct Solley. ITV are no RR, but if we liken it to a car, it's more like a second hand Lada with the handbrake stuck on!
May 9th is ITV's Q1 trading update day. IMO the Disaster prone Dame has to come up with a rosy statement or she's toast. ITVx is doing great streaming number, the Studios are doing well, so why is the share price stuck solid around a lowly 70p. Nothing moves this stock, ok advertising is down but ITV aren't just advertising are they? Time for a management cull at ITV, it should have happened a long time ago, but they just trudge on and on with this inept BoD who never utter anything to the long suffering shareholders. This dog with fleas is the worst performer in my 16 stock portfolio. Best performer RR who in February 2022 was standing at around 100p the same as ITV, last week ITV 68p RR 400p..........now someone tell me that ITV isn't a dog with fleas and Dame Woke should be fired ASAP!
That makes perfect sense Contrarian. Looks like somebody has offloaded their 5-10% stake in the last 2 days in advance of the results.
Are you serious!! Tom, a 10% stake in ITV would amount to 425 million shares and change, so do us all a favour and stop posting utter drivel. The market in ITV shares is small and atm it is easy for MM's to control it, nobody is dumping stock, If some large holder Trust or a pirate like John Malone were to sell 10%, do you think the trade would have an effect on the 1000 shares Joe Blogs just sold for 60p. It would, because depending on the reason for the sale, the sp would be up or down at least 10%.
LWLH....The dividend should be safe on the grounds that they have just announced a share buyback, share buybacks should be the last thing ITV should do if the dividend isn't safe. If they don't honour the dividend after announcing a share buyback, McCall will be toast.
Poker Chip or Poke might be more suitable. Your crusade to have us believe Schofield's 8 year dalliance with a young lad is normal and just what everybody does, might indicate that you are a member of the rainbow fraternity. I think it's time you stopped all the crusading and realised that you are in a minority. I personally do not care what consenting adults do behind closed doors, that is up to them. But this man put another nail in ITV's coffin while also ruining the lives of others namely his wife two daughters and the young lad who is now a pariah. He also cost jobs within ITV and also failed to report his brother's vile perversions.
Very sad that you think it's all normal, but is your world it probably is!
Poker....only an idiot would pipe up about sitting on losses as an excuse for posting drivel. Do not flatter yourself to even think you have a clue, you are small fry investor and it shows. Best you keep your own counsel and stop whining about how badly Schofield and McCall have been bashed for their dismantling of ITV.
Poker....So now you think the Police and Schofield's lawyers will be after a poster on this free BB for saying what you consider to be so terrible, doyou ever care a thought for those who trusted Schofield. What planet are you on, visit a few blogs and TwitterX and see thousands of posts and tweets that are ten times worse than anything posted on here.
Grow up man!
pokerchips....there is a general name for those who forecast things after those things happening. the name is a 'silly ******' and you fit the mantle by posting 'what did we expect when in march 2022 the sp fell due to the late launch of itvx'.....what did the market expect? well if you care to go back and read the press about the mistimed strategy, you may be able to grasp that it was not expected due to mccall's lack of acumen and understanding pr.
poker, your chips are low and we all know why!
Ten quick reasons why Dame Wokey McCall has been a disaster.
1..Box ticking wokeness. 2. A CEO who actually listened to a Z list ham actress for advice, solely because the actress was a royal by marriage. 3. Allowed a male presenter of a flagship show to live a double life with a male youth while faking a happy marriage. 4. Zero communication or responsibility to shareholders. 5. Announces a streaming operation 4 years to late thus causing a freefall in the share price. 6. Allowed a senior Board Member Radcliffe to sell his stake in ITV which amounted to a £600k deal which saw the start of the sp dropping 25%. 7. Gaff after gaff, bad decision after bad decision. 8. Never since day one ever getting the press on the company's side, a totally useless PR operative. 10. Share price has fallen over 60% since McCall arrived.
There are just some people on this thread who should not be defending the indefensible.
Several of us have sent e-mails, she never replies personally. But I doubt she has much to say that would help us understand how she has allowed a once household name with a Mkt Cap of £11bn to become a penny share with a Mkt Capof 2.3bn! Drop her a line POGO,she might send you signed photo!

POGO, are you thick or just blind to what has occurred at ITV. Calling people trolls because they don't agree with your views is childish and shows you don't have a clue how a company should be run. McCall has been a disaster and should have been fired 23 months ago in March 2022. You will be cheering if next month we get a good report, but you shouldn't be feeling great because even if the share price goes up 25% to 75p, it is still down by 50%. No sir, critics here are not trolls, they are just investors who see Dame Woke as the failure she is. All of the childish accusations of trolling because savvy investors see ITV as a jam tomorrow dog with fleas just shows that you haven't a clue. Matters not that its a female boss, she has been a terrible CEO...don't believe me, have a long look at ITV's dismal performance since she was hired.
As anyone here knows, I am not a fan of McCall or any of the chiefs at ITV. But, and it is a but, there are mutterings in the media world that ITV are going to come up with a better than expected report. I have my doubts as such knowledge may be a wild rumour and if it has substance the trades today indicate not! I have enough ITV to hope it's got some truth in it, but I am not holding my breath. The next three weeks price movement will be interesting as any positive talk from insiders would reach those in the City. If there is any truth in any of it, it would be a boost for McCall's sagging reputation . If indeed anything can save her! I rate it a strong buy because it looks super cheap, but I am not tipping it!
