So often surprised at the reaction of BB investors to the news. How can people be selling? Beats me.

Interesting observation from scrutable re: newsflow frequency. BIRD has been doing an excellent job in my opinion in terms of behind the scenes organisation and maintaining regular positive news sentiment to keep the market interested. I look forward to next year and I suspect they will be keeping news momentum up as they are doing. I been holding for a couple of years since pre IM days and to be fair, the current team has sent price into new ranges not seen for a long time. I continue to buy and am happy to add under 100p

I note that ITM newsflow was maintained for much of this year since May and it's price went from around 20p to 80p

BIRD 100p+? Sure why not?! I am ready to buy if needed.

if my auntie had balls....

Bonio . Nothing personal but you really are talking complete rubbish ! There are very strict rules on when directors can buy or sell shares . In practice a narrow window . Bird directors have complied with the rules - end of story !

[cabi1] 03/12/2019 10:02

Not far off 14p anyway, so we can all be as greedy as IM if we want.

[nickb] 03/12/2019 10:02

bonio
That seems a strange view to me.

What would you have said if he didn’t buy any shares in the placement?

[bonio10000] 03/12/2019 10:00

Stick to charts.

Not comedy.

[horneblower] 03/12/2019 09:56

In the Christmas panto, bonio, do you play Eeyore?

[bonio10000] 03/12/2019 09:19

Lucky he got a placing then to get around the issue.

[horneblower] 03/12/2019 09:08

Greed? Don't knock it.
However, with all the results and contracts being announced, IM will have had precious little opportunity to buy or sell BIRD shares. It's not allowed, and that's partly what NED's are for...to know and stick to the rules.

[bonio10000] 03/12/2019 08:56

IMHO - IM is greedy.

Sure his goals are aligned to others - but he is still greedy.

Fact is he got them cheap in the market and could have just announced Eleven Sports & Bloomberg in a manner to prime the price above 20p.

He didn't.

[nickb] 03/12/2019 08:48

But did he?
Could have got them 8p ish after the results but presumably was not allowed.

I can’t criticise Ian as far as buying shares is concerned

[bonio10000] 03/12/2019 08:22

Well, the board seem to have done a good job in killing the market.

We will need another biggie, rather than an RNS Reach, to get this moving again.

Glad that IM got his shares a bit cheaper though.

[nickb] 03/12/2019 07:47

That’s great and it looks to me that it has strong potential to expand the deal with them.

[scrutable] 03/12/2019 07:46

It's pleasing to note that since the Summer, the rate of publication of price-affecting RNS has risen to one per month ie Town news,Google, Bloomberg and today Eleven Sports.. I now expect that to be a response to viral increase in awareness and confidence in the product, and to become the norm during the next few months.
I expect the share price whiplash effect to be salient by this afternoon

The bought la Liga in the UK and massively overpaid.

But still, that is their issue.

Good to see we are doing deals directly and not via IMG or Deltrare. Should be of more value to us.

Eleven Sports,
