Narcissistic behaviour? I am just capable of seeing the pain that it causes to other people. Schofield's wife seems a very decent person. Eamonn Holmes and other coworkers have pointed out that Phil off screen was controlling and bullying. Nasty piece of work. Taking phone numbers from 13 year old children and then using them once they reach adulthood.

Sorry but no way he should have been left in a position of power at ITV. Toxic issues.

I am happy with my Russian woman but thanks for the offer. You and Pogo can enjoy the cruising scene. Try to stay safe.

Just what the board needed. A circle jerk between smug posters who want to believe they understand the markets.

Poker if you want to know what happens between two men in hotel rooms then sorry but I am not an authority. I suggest maybe you go to a sauna frequented by men. Maybe take Pogo with you for moral support. Ask the men there to demonstrate to you what Schofield takes young men to hotel rooms for.

So Baldy posts that I have trod a fine line but have stayed within the law. That LSE are liable only everything I have posted has been "within the law". That LSE are aware of someone posting things which are within the law. That he/she has me on filter.

So yet another of the shrill detractors who follow me around the board feels the need to pipe up yet again. Nothing to add to the debate but just digs at myself with requests to be banned.

Baldy was the one who started the false misogynist claim about me. Totally groundless, but in their world nobody can criticise the presentation of a female CEO as that is a hate crime.

Baldy has previously said they do not support democracy and the need to seek a majority vote. They favour Putin style leadership where dissident voices are silenced.

Poker you really need to get up to speed. Everything has been reported by the tabloids last summer. Try searching on "Schofield" "Playtime".

Chauffeurs, security and just about everyone witnessed Schofield and the runner repeatedly go off to apartments and hotel rooms to play scrabble after the shows had finished.....

Everybody knew. The whitewash enquiry said only one junior employee knew.

Oh and Poker outside of criminal cases there is no presumption of innocence. No need to prove beyond doubt that what you say happened actually happened.

Balance of evidence. A judge would make a decision and given Schofield's admission of a relationship, the payment and chauffeurs saying they dropped both off at hotel rooms toegther there is little to no wriggle room for Schofield. He abused an ITV employee. The Dame ignored that like she ignores the Share Price and investors.

I love that Pokerchips told me to watch the analysts presentation.....

Go to March 2nd 2023. (switch to 100 posts per page. Page 27). One individual is all over the results presentation. Watching the livestream and relaying the Dame's points to this forum as they happened. Lots of gems about how Planet V was bringing new advertisers to the digital platform that previously never advertised on TV.

Then this gem from yours truly which sparked all the claims that I am a misogynist because I have better fashion sense than Carolyn.

"The thing that worried me most was how and where they delivered the presentation. The Dame wears terrible brown colours. Initially she and the CFO were stood in front on a cheap office partition. They then sat down at a desk but there was a gathering of senior staff which consisted of mostly old white guys in suits (no ties) huddled in a corner.

You have city analysts tuning in to see a cheap production. Surely someone in ITV can put together a better backdrop and maybe even a studio set next time? They also need to get the wardrobe department to dress them like new media or tech company execs rather than the old school business execs who must look out of place in the creative and media world."

Schofield paid the runner in excess of 100k.

Prince Andrew although not a convicted rapist paid one of his alleged victims millions.

Not enough for a criminal conviction but most claims for libel or slander would say that on the balance of evidence that those payments amount to admission.

Like the share price the evidence was all there of systematic failure by ITV over Schofield but she did nothing, stayed silent and denied all knowledge. We are paying £3.5million for someone who is not seen. She could be work from home most days a week doing precious little.

McCall needs to step up. Be on news bulletins, on financial news. Lots more soundbites. Deborah Meaden was on Peston last night. Perhaps McCall could arrange for Peston to talk top her about Schofield, media and the future of free to air TV.

Pogo yes please hold me accountable. Schofield paid off the runner. That is proven. Schofield admitted in court, under oath that he had not reported acts of child sexual abuse. Again proven.

A Dame. Somebody who should uphold standards of behaviour. She put a man who had ignored child sex acts back on air after having read his testimony in court. That reflects badly on ITV and has brought reputational damage to the brand. Seeing a CEO of a company you invest in summoned to Parliament over wilful neglect of employees and their right to protection from sexual predators and their bullying behaviour?

You would silence me though in the same way people who spoke out against Saville were threatened with defamation.

The Carolyn cheerleaders go into cut and paste mode when beaten by the facts. They just want to feed positive news stories out on this forum to drown out the people asking why we still pay millions to our BoD

More personal attacks? You cannot argue with credible articles from the Times stating what I have been telling you for six years so you go down the weak route of claiming the person you disagree with is mentally ill.....

Two of you have now mentioned my mental health..... My Russian girlfriend was a qualified doctor. Now regional head at a Pharmaceutical. She stops me if ever I start to speculate about mental health issues. It is the worse thing you can do as an unqualified lay person. Live and let live. All views are valid and venting at a badly performing CEO is not metnal illness.

I get why you would want to silence me but for 6 years people have failed.

Winstanley why do you rush to the defence of the Board?

How do you explain that the FTSE 250 is down 2% in the last year but ITV is 30% down? Stock markets. Only you and Pokerchump seem to understand them on this board. The rest of us must be insane.

Poker is right. We all need to understand how the stock market works......

Only the Times who do get how the stock market works have listed McCall in the 5 CEOs most likely to go. They do not make excuses for her incompetence and failure.

Incessantly whining is something the post office victims did. It did nothing for them.

Breaking News: The Dame has said that ITV are exploring options for a revamp of "Jim'll Fix it". Prince Andrew has been touted as an executive producer. Schofield will be the presenter and Carolyn has given her backing saying "he has done nothing illegal" and "only one junior employee knew"

Pokerchips is trying hard to fit in but I think they are an ITV plant. Told to try to stop some of the discontent online about Dame Milquetoast.

Anyway we did All3media to death back when it was relevant. The price and the level of debt it would have saddled ITV with would have then left the seller Liberty in a great position to then buyout ITV. It all looked dodgy from the start. Thankfully the Dame did not pursue it.

Celebrity Big Brother is now the future. I would love to see figures on how much they are paying Banijay Media next to how much they have secured in advertising. The non celeb version looked to have died a fast death.

https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/02/19/philip-schofield-nda/

we had *** posters on here telling us that schofield was an abuser long before itv fired him. it seems everyone for the panto dame knew.

Something very fishy about Pokers posting. He/she digs up small stories that are hidden away on the internet but fails to post links to Schofields NDA and paying off of his victim. I am sure the runners legal team have approached ITV for compensation now that Schofield has paid out....... Poker how much did us shareholders payout to young males who were sexually exploited by Schofield?

Poker or Pogo? Who is the true sage. Who to believe. Special dividend and an extra 2p sounds amazing. 80p by end of February. Victory for Ukraine and end to the war which is holding back the world economy.

In her defence I think whoever followed Crozier, especially with a more cautious approach of paying off debt was going to see the Share Price fall. The Share Price settled at £1.50 prior to covid. It had dipped to £1.10 but was back to 140-150 in 2020.

The real issue with McCall is March 2022. The crash from 120 to 50p was entirely of her making. Not market driven. She has asked for 4 years to demonstrate that the investment will bring the necessary returns but we are two years in now and nowhere near her projected figures. She has failed. We can drag this out or we can ask for someone else with a vision more in alignment with what City investors would recommend to step up.

The Dame is incapable of admitting failure. She paid off the runner, she paid for an expensive enquiry that ignored serious errors of judgement. She failed to respond to the share price crash in March 2022 and just ploughed ahead with handouts totalling 160million to studios to make shows that barely break even.

Failure, failure failure. Any other employee gets put on an improvement plan and then eventually goes to a meeting with HR where they are told that employment will cease. No reason why a Damehood should spare you this indignity

ITV adventures invest is because there is advertising slots going begging. They cannot sell them. So they go to small unproven startups who cannot afford to buy traditional advertising and take equity in their companies.

Desperate times.......
