adminLONDON. — Betfred founder and Manchester United fan Fred Done has decided to refund all bets on Manchester United winning the English Premier League soccer title after their 3-0 loss to Liverpool at Old Trafford. The man who famously lost £500 000 in 1998 by paying out early on Manchester United winning the league when they had a 12-point lead only for Arsenal to win by a point says “United are robbing the fans” with their terrible form under new manager David Moyes. This latest decision will cost Done £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. “They deserved a run for their money and they didn’t get it. They never had a chance. United are robbing the fans.”
Done added that “this team is going nowhere” and “they are not even the biggest team in Manchester and it breaks my heart saying that.” So he’s obviously feeling pretty good about things.
