Fred pays out to deflated Reds fans
The Salford bookie is giving anyone who bet on United winning the title their money back, at a cost of £200,000.
Fred Done, who famously became the first bookie to pay out early on United winning the Premier League, made history again today by paying a refund to fans who had high hopes on the Reds retaining the title.
The gesture will cost the Salford-born Reds-supporting millionaire bookmaker £200,000.
He said: “These loyal fans never had a chance of winning with United. This season the Reds have been useless, hopeless and meaningless.
“Anyone who has a bet on United winning the title need only take their slip to any shop and I will refund every penny.
“One of the reasons I’m doing this is, and becoming the first bookmaker ever to do so, is because of the way the fans were still singing for their team even though we were losing 3-0 to Liverpool. I couldn’t believe it and they deserve a team much better than that put out by David Moyes.
“They deserved a run for their money and they didn’t get it. They never had a chance. United are robbing the fans. The Glazers, some of whom were there at Old Trafford yesterday, need to get their hands in their pockets.
“I’m not the only one saying this but this team is going nowhere. I keep hearing about United being the best team in the world - that’s just wrong.
“They are not even the biggest team in Manchester and it breaks my heart saying that.”
