if CURY does well, the high street does well, advertising does well and ITV does well... Its all linked... Come on ITV - lets get cracking.... Takeover rumours, big bucks, blah blah, Goldtoe I should get that as my alternative user ID - are we allowed more than one id?

I guess takeover deals in TV studios in USA is having a positive affect as well as rise in US shares last night and of course the buyback... Triple whammy I guess.

In not disclosing an approach the Dame and board are in breach of the UK takeover code. It is clearly price sensitive information and they willingly allowed the SP to fall to 55p. There need to be consequences.
15-03-2024
Goldfinger when you resort to such language it just proves your game is up. You’re getting angry because you’ve been found out. Had an ITV takeover happened you would have basked in the glory of I told you so even though it was just luck. But now they haven’t, and aren’t about to you just get angry. Oh dear. What kinda Walter Mitty tells such stories for anonymous internet likes anyway.

Two thirds of voters believe that foreign governments should not be able to own UK media organisations, an opinion poll has found. The survey of 5,299 adults by Lord Ashcroft, the former Tory donor-turned-pollster, posed the question as the United Arab Emirates-backed takeover of The Telegraph hangs in the balance. Respondents were told about the Telegraph bid and asked “whether foreign governments should be involved in the ownership of UK media outletsâ€￾. Some 66 per cent of those polled agreed that “foreign governments should not be allowed to own UK media outlets, directly or indirectlyâ€￾. Opposition highest among Tory voters In contrast, 14 per cent of respondents said that it should be allowed as long as the owners do not influence what the outlets publish or broadcast, while 5 per cent said there was “no problemâ€￾ with the arrangement. The rest selected the “don’t knowâ€￾ option.
matthewsorry your post earlier was uncharacteristically incorrect, crapfingers lies started in nov 2021, with the fill your boots, guaranteed takeover at 192p in 3 days post - this was a cheap pump and dumper trying to get a quick out, nothing more, nothing less....
07-03-2024
cuntios7no i can see your shite…crapfinger like the rest of the plebs has been saying itv is going up for two years, so i dont really buy his mystic meg routine…as i explained thats why he is taking the shame of his terrible record here, he is hoping for a random takeover because plebs will follow him in to some illiquid aim shit in the future……itv was an obvious buy during february
Was it goldfinger that mentioned a share buy back? No thought not. It was one of his friends of a friend of a friend who heard about a possible takeover whilst sat in a sauna that he has been banging on about, not the share buy back plan that has launched this recovery.

The itv takeover story has been running for at least 10 years or roughly the same time when stansmith was in Nappies
05-03-2024
and the lying prick advised people to buy or hold as a takeover was imminent about 6 times, here we are with the sp down 2.5 years later….he must be the worst tipster ever, with the worst sources or just a bedroom fantasist as labelled by the other thread, i see justice is now calling him out, he only posts here because the three planks jimbullshit, jonnybag and royston are thicker than he is

ny rent boy - still talking your hindsight book?jimbullshit - any apology forthcoming for backing crapfinger to the hilt from 109p when he encouraged people not to sell due to the imminent takeover and fill their boots at 90, 80 and 70…?its only you, jonnybag and that tit royston that give him any quarter, what an embarrassment

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-02-29/uk-plc-attracts-wave-of-takeover-offers-from-foreign-suitors?leadSource=uverify%20wall
After the short term profit takers have been shaken off, looking at 70p by close of play, 90p by Easter, and goldfingers forecast of a takeover well in excess of a quid by June. GLA.
Further, if there are interested parties and an offer has been touted that MUST be disclosed as it is price sensitive information, as per UK takeover code. Can't be kept hidden or there will be even more trouble ahead for the board and CEO.
jonnybag and crapfinger...the bromance continues, plus made up shite and a good measure of can kicks, did they fall for your mystic meg routine...when is the takeover happening now?is the dame still in on it?after changing it from amazon to apple, are you going to change the story again?no need to answer we all know the routine by now....why have you stopped posting on the pleb thread again? oh right the entire thread labelled you a bedroom fantastist...lols
The recent Takeover Bid prices shows how undervalued the UK market is, so buying back shares at low prices can be no bad thing. Virtually every Company with surplus cash to requirements are doing it, It's easily at an all time record for share buybacks. Needs Government to put the UK market on the right track and get Pension Funds back on board. I don't think a Brit ISA will be enough to stop the rot. Tories and Labour are absolute feckin shambles.

I posted this on Currys board but actually I think many ITV investors might be interested too =================== Interesting information for anyone trying to work out the chance of a successful takeover based on current statistics: Statistical Information The big peak on graph was in 2021. 2023 was a new low... So 2024 potentially should be the rebound year... So chances of takeovers actually happening in 2024 is higher (imho) than 2023.. This only works if you like Brucies "Play Your Cards Right" type of statistics... ============================ Even if ITV itself does not get taken over, provided enough companies do, it will lift the entire FTSE off the floor...
19-02-2024
Currys is an outdated shithole, has an awful balance sheet with current debt higher than current assets, yet multiple takeover bids incoming.
Rate cuts are coming and now we see even a crap company like Currys saddled with massive debt and barely making a profit receiving a string of takeover offers.
18-02-2024
love this thread, this is the one hades accused me of having multiple avatars, while he has 4 (that we know of)hadesboixrock8le chen stansmithwhat a wretchnet, why not dig out his 18 year old thread suggesting a takeover is coming for itv?must be a record
16-02-2024
topbunthanks for walking into the trap..im surprised you could fit that in amongst your driveli said itv was going down from 123 as the ukraine war started - correcti said itv was going down on the itv launch at 109 - correcti said crapfingers imminent takeover at 192p when the sp was also 109 was total bullshit and would not happen - correcti said the itv price may go below 60p as the interest rate cycle started - correcti advised people not to buy in the 80s and wait for the turn - correcti said everyone one of crapfingers can kicks were just lies and would come to nothing - correcti said the time to but itv is at the turn snd there will be an easy 50% to be made - lets see---youre welcome
15-02-2024
matthewour mental patient gives himself away every time he latches onto any trading or volume out of the ordinary, just a liar through and through hanging around for a random takeover now…he is only here because a few planks (are they even different people) are dumb enough to give him the time of day, jonny,royston, jimbullshit you know who you are..his other avatars - nologiclad and stronghands have been lying low, no doubt we will hear from them soon…he has had to can kick every claim so far…whatever he is saying now will be no different, but the planks will lap it up nonetheless…last plank standing still a bit of a competition, down to the last four runners out of everyone on both threads…who will win..place your bets
13-02-2024
The usual takeover post well over due...
12-02-2024
tlobsyou are fight about him making it up as he goes along, trouble is he forgets his pish, he once said when desperate to look informed that the dame was in on the takeover….fucking know nothing fantasist, it will soon be three years he has been pulling the plonkers of the willing and we all know who they are…what the plebs dont realise he is just the opposite of those saying the reverse, doing his thing in an attempt to get his penny turn
09-02-2024
Exligiclad, he probably voted to ban himself. One of life’s failures I’m afraid.This is looking good for 50-55p, that’s my entry point for a hold and see if a takeover bid comes.
Priced for a takeover now. ready to go.
06-02-2024
crapfingeri have owned you from day, been right about your takeover fantasies, predicted every one of your can kicks....now youve been booted by the pleb thread...and cuntios7 is sticking up for you....your humiliation is complete...coming up on three years, ffs, there is shameless and just deluded, everyone knows you are a fantasist
03-02-2024
HedgeFund....It's two years since Goldfinger first posted about a bid. Most took it as a possibility as bids, merges and takeover talk in ITV has never come to much. Since then Stan never lets up, he was always a bore thats why Hades banned him. Stan did post that ITV were going to suffer, and they have, but so did many others on this thread and LSE, but poor old stan thinks he saw into the future. Whether he is long ITV atm, who knows, I would guess he isn't.
29-01-2024
I haven't read this thread for a while, but Stan you were angry last time I was here and it looks like nothing has changed. To me it looks like you are being played, stop reacting angrily to posts. Nobody with a brain takes a lot of this stuff seriously, Goldfinger, JimB, hades, the Motley Fool and every other board has been saying ITV are in a takeover for the last 15 years. People post many different views on bulletin boards, you can take notice or ignore the posts. Also many people posted here and on other boards that ITV were a value trap, so Stan you are not the only ITV bear, there are many who agree with you and many who don't. GLA
crapfingersame shite filter exists for you, after all your shite is truly special...fill yer boots at 109, takeover at 192 within 3 days...you actually wrote that over 2 years ago and then duly kicked the can until the present day...i saw through you from day one, now everyone sees through you*i own you..:) *excluding advfns biggest two plebs (j+j)
25-01-2024
and then there is the shameless prick who guaranteed a takeover within 3 days at 192p when the sp was 109, followed by umpteen promises afterwards that all came to fuck all....what a liar..called out from day one, every can kick correctly predicted....owned and outed in equal measure...has to post here because the plebs cant stand him...burn :)
24-01-2024
fill your boots at 109p - takeover imminent - from crapfinger takes some beating, no shame shown whatsoever
23-01-2024
So if Goldfingers prediction is correct what price would a takeover have to pitched at? It's been held down at 60p-70p for sometime for a reason. The top brass at Apple will know that Mrs Woke will drag the share price down if she stays. Without her then we have to be looking at 150p-180p maybe even more don't we?
18-01-2024
I guess the save jimbullshit campaign is now in full effect. Lets face it the guy needs saving…from boring the arse off everyone with his 2k profit made from punting on an anonymous poster while admitting he had no clue about a takeover…to then becoming the anonymous posters biggest supporter and then revealing he was in fact a super secret mega trader whose business goldman sachs covet and finally becoming the last plank standing even though both itv threads have turned their backs on the anonymous poster believing him to be a fantasist.Cuntios7, hedgefundkick, ronsnotrich and klotty have stepped up to help jimbullshit. Will you join the campaign to save this poor individual? Just speaking to him can make a difference.Thank you.#savejimbullshit
17-01-2024
jimbullshitno doubt you are throwing a strop, but surely you can see you look a right tit by saying you have no idea then claiming to be a super secret mega trader?the dms i got from other posters at the time you came out, said as much..then you were crapfingers biggest supporter, how did that work out for you?you are so dumb you believe the takeover has been in progress for more than two years…you are the last plank standing (and im aware there are thick pricks like cuntios on this board)
21-12-2023
speeadingthicknesstothemanywe established last year crapfinger reads the ft and posts the rumours as his sourcesft been talking about an itv takeover for 20 years, of course it will happen sooner or later, the issue is crapfinger has no inside info as the fantasist pretends
To be fair I am not pinning my hopes for a takeover on the ramblings of Goldfinger. When it starts to be rumoured on real web sites and not free BB's then we might be in with a chance.
18-12-2023
i find his stories amusing, but like the boy who cried wolf in the end you shrug off reading his posts as no more than fantasy. stay long, buy more, news soon, next week, apple/disney takeover has got stale.
17-12-2023
Was it all about takeover story?...
14-12-2023
I am sitting in the middle on this debate yes, the UK is a highly regulated market yes there are many players that don't give a fig Pootle Limited in the BVI could be holding 3% and Bootle locates in Congo and Tootle flagged in Antigua another 3%. When the buyer declares, they sell the holdings to buyer. In common with many things, big money has rules of its own but an ordinary punter gets prosecuted to within an inch of their lives. LIBOR rigging ? Did anyone ever think that was a robust process? If there is ever a prosecution it is a guy from harlow who made the phone call offered up as a sacrificial lamb. There are so many examples of truly stinking processes with no-one ever called to account I think obce in the Takeover mode, things get a lot harder to scam
10-12-2023
jimbullshit/crapfingerobviously ive known you were a pair of planks since day one, not only that but i predicted your can kicks in advance and the day would come when the board would lose faith in you…ive never been disappointed, in fact ive been surprised, not only does the board not believe the takeover bullshit, but you are seen as a pair of fantasists who have been lying for two years…every post you now make gets mocked, keep posting please, every time you post on this thread is just a reminder that you are not welcome over there and have no where to go
09-12-2023
Yes called the takeover story...place your bets...
?
05-12-2023
stewartdo keep uphades/boix set up his own thread to control the discussion...as he disagreed the sp was heading down...everyone moved over...now many are back posting and complaining about hades and his threads bullshit and this is only going up messagecrapfingers takeover lies are no longer welcome there after as little as two years...lolthe likes of 2bluelyn, nakedmolerat, jimbullshit and cautios like to post drive bys here to make themselves feel better
02-12-2023
I don't buy the 'they want to buy ITV a few pence cheaper' because that's all it is to them. Millions are the same as pennies essentially. Justice...A few pence cheaper on millions of shares is real money, big numbers are involved in any takeover and those in the know will have a dog in the race. ITV have over 4 billion ordinary shares in issue, if a bid came from a behemoth such a US FAANG company, you can bet on it, that they have already, bought, optioned or purloined a guaranteed percentage. Sure they will pay what it takes to buy the rest. How crazy are valuations, a sniff that a FAANG had been buying, building a stake, or someone like Warren Buffett had bought a chunk of ITV and the share price would rocket even though the company had done zero to warrant it.

26-11-2023
Anyone invested or potentially investing should absolutely should completely ignore Goldfinger’s supposed insider information. It’s so obviously complete rubbish. Hades/BOIX, every post I have made on here has been supported by bona fide information on an ITV takeover. Hard luck if you don't get that the party involved moves slowly and is very surreptitious in it's moves. I am surprised you now call it complete rubbish. When exactly did you decide this, because up till recently you under your BOIX pseudonym was sending me private messages asking if I had any news. You are BOIX aren't you?
25-11-2023
trevjimbullshit wouldnt post again if i posted the direct messages i have received about him…the number of people who pissed themselves laughing at his super secret mega trader reveal was very surprising…the hades this is only going up thread is just a historical document of stupidity, terrible interest rate predictions, complete misreading of the economy, bid pumping..who can forget hades guaranteed takeover very soon after attending the edinburgh festival…proving again he is a wannabee tv ad salesman…and after two years there is still a decent sized cohort who dont understand crapfingers game, worse it took two years for most of them to realise what was going on…i still find it hard to believe hades has been pumping a bid on advfn for 18 years….there are no words for that
21-11-2023
I can remember some years back when I first bought into ITV, it was always popping up as a takeover target and nothing ever happened apart from thousands of small investors getting trapped into buying shares at double what they are today. However, since McCall arrived the company has gone downhill and nobody tips it, wants it, likes it or her. She had her 15 minutes of fame at Easyjet when the money loved Airlines, the market made McCall look good, but it was no more than she was there at the right time. ITV as it is today, rundown by bad management and current times, could be a useful addition to more than one media companies who could easily swoop at anytime. But like many Jam tomorrow companies who were bought out, it will happen when least expected.
Yes you are correct and so was he at the time as a takeover happened within a few months. With Cobham, it may have been info or just that Cobham were tipped as a target many times previously to Goldy. But this time with ITV, maybe he is riding on past glories because the time lapse is now close on two years and as we all know ITV has been a takeover target ever since Rupert Murdoch wanted it so badly the Govt scuppered his bid.
Goldfinger's gift, the ITV takeover turkey. 123..love the bit about the $20 drug tokens, but more likely goldy's source is in goldy's mind and goldy is in a bedsit somewhere north of Watford.
That's for sure Thanksgiving is on Thursday and US markets will be closed. Goldy's source has made a forecast we can bank on. And isn't it kind that Goldfinger16 source is giving us more bollox on the Apple hmmm Takeover Turkey, it's been in the oven for near on two years now, maybe Joe Biden will pardon it!!

ITV is now akin to the Roman ampitheatres where the christians were thrown to the lions and gladiators fought to the death for the enjoyment of the ignorant crowds. Hence crap programmes such as Love Island I m A celebrity(nonentity) and the like. Even the soaps are lowering themselves to the lowest common denominator. I spend more time watching Amazon Prime (Bosch Jack Reacher) Disney(Justified)Need I say more I refuse to watch the tat peddled by ITV in the guise of programming such as mentioned. The adverts are too woke and people are switching off and over in their droves Until ITV wakes up its ideas the share price will continue to languish near its lows and I see that continuing. Will continue to monitor because at this price with the dividend on offer it continues to look attractive but unless takeover offer pops up continues to be a share to watch while ITV remains a station with nothing worth viewing. take care
16-11-2023
ITV's performance under Dame Carolyn McCall has been dismal, she has had every opportunity to get ITV out of the doldrums her failed management has driven the company into, but she is stuck in that hole and just keeps digging. All those who think a predator will steal ITV at 75p to a pound a share haven't a clue as to how a takeover price differs from Mkt Cap. If ITV were put on sale today for £2.5 billion to the first buyer, there would be a long line pirates who would just love to own it, split it up and make a fortune. Just think of John Malone with his 9.9% accepting £250 million for his stake, or even £300 million. More likely he would be at the front trying to buy it. No, any bid would have to be big enough to tempt those funds to sell, so imo north of 150p.
Gecko, I have argued many times that the SP does not necessarily reflect an impending takeover so I agree that ITV could indeed be taken out at a huge premium. However, my own opinion is that it's almost certain the studios business will be sold and the remaining broadcasting arm will go private as a public listing would be pointless and expensive for such a low residue market cap with no growth prospects. I am invested in ITV for the (imo) sale of the Studios and no other reason.
11-11-2023
Just a quick update on Goldfinger's current position. Goldfinger posted this morning on the Cityboy private thread for members only. Takeover talks with banks and UK authorities are almost final so fill your boots. He didn't name a date, but posted near future. Also, I believe he is still living rent free in Stansmith's empty head. I guess Stan has a lot of empty space in that dormant organ between his ears. ROFLMAO!!!
jonnywhy do you never ask hades/boix about his takeover?last summer he guaranteed a takeover very soon after attending the edinburgh tv festival….now he doesnt even believe in any takeover and he has been hard at for 18 years on these very boards..you really are giving jimbullshit a run for his money to be the last plank standing
10-11-2023
you need to wake up…itv is a perennial takeover target…crapfinger is hanging onto to his bullshit story on the off chance someone does actually take it out, just imagine how he would dine out on that…can you imagine what would happen to the sp of some illiquid aim garbage when he identified that as his next takeover rumour - when all the itv planks wade in - remember he had at at least 5 hail mary imminent takeovers…what do you think that was for? why would i be interested now - because the sp is 59? the planks said the same at 99,89,79 & 69… my plan to make a packet out of itv is coming together nicely :)
So how many shares now traded at under 62p this week?.,I take it this is all part of the now TWO year imminent takeover that crapfinger has been lying about?..How about an update, there are still a few planks - like jimbullshit - who are still with you, mainly because they could never agree with me haha..Come on crappy, just for comedic value if nothing else?
09-11-2023
Time to dip my tootsie's in me thinks Got lucky last time on takeover rumour got taken out @ 93 But as always timing it is crucial Here we go
08-11-2023
lolbedford1976member since oct 2023starts posting takeover crap, of course unchallengedits true what i say about hades/boix bid pumping thread...slowly slowly (and we are talking years) people catching on to who was right all along
03-11-2023
nakedmolerat another prick who is not a troll haha, whoop whoop itv is back to where it was a few days agothe whole market is up you fucking donkey and many up more than itvwhy do you think that is, is the company suddenly better than it was on monday, has the dame left, has hades copied and pasted amazing numbers from somewhere, is the takeover happening? what can be ?could it be that people think the turn could be here? what have i been saying since last july?what a cock you look
01-11-2023
slateri dont make any anymore, once i showed that hopes on britbox were never going to come to anything i immediately fell foul of those basing everything on that, then those in the takeover camp didnt appreciate my pointing out that there was no takeover, oh and for goodness sake dont mention the new interest rate cycle that started in july 22 - people only wanted to hear how itv was going to perform counter to that - so lots of friends made...people just dont want to hear anything negative about their investment..same people expect itvx to grow and grow..nope its 90% as big as it going to get..all of that said, itv have done brilliantly over the last 10 or so years expanding the studios business, im still a buyer of itv at the right price - good luck with what you do
27-10-2023
That takeover story poster been circulating since price was around 90p...has everybody got money tree in back garden?...60p today or Monday...
26-10-2023
Goldfinger...So when are Radcliffe's shares gonna be used in the longest, most non secret corporate takeover bid in history. Apple will never buy ITV and you know it!! It is bad that an ITV board member sells their shares because they have lost faith in the way the company is being run, but what is worse is the value of ITV has fallen by almost 20% since Radcliffe sold his stake. Not a peep from ITV about wtf is going on. Fact is chaps, they think we are all idiots and I am beginning to think they are correct. One thing that is for sure is Radcliffe, McCall and the rest of the board will still get their fat pay packets and pensions while they have left us to see our investment sink like a brick.
21-10-2023
That takeover story must be well over due...
15-10-2023
you cant make it up..hades says he wont encourage takeover deception on his board…this after being the sole driver of asking crapfinger for updates every two weeks in 21/22…brilliantwill he ban crapfinger from the anything but itv thread? of course not, he needs the traffic lolon the plus side crapfinger has been rebuked by yet another bb member…
14-10-2023
It’s great to be positive but please don’t pump a groundless takeover bid when it’s absolutely groundless. ITV are doing well in an extremely difficult media marketplace (production and advertising) in fact probably the worst in ITVs long history (the pandemic was deeper but shorter in duration and softened with Government assistance). I am bullish ITV long term but I won’t encourage short term deception. Hold or buy because you believe in a recovery but not because of an absolutely groundless takeover suggestion. Nothing said in this BB will move the share price but it could encourage private investors to make ill informed investment decisions. Please behave responsibly when posting on this BB.
06-10-2023
Takeover at Aviva mooted strongly today but ITV....
04-10-2023
Takeover story over due...that poster with sources...
