Fred Done outs himself as “Red Knight”
Bookmaker Fred Done has revealed himself to be one of the “Red Knights” aiming to takeover Manchester United.
Fred, a lifelong United fan, is the first of an alleged 50 investors keen to take the football club away from the Glazer family, who have burdened the club with huge debts.
He was approached by fixer Keith Harris.
“If we are not careful we could end up like another Portsmouth, who look like they are headed for administration.
“Sponsorship will be the next thing to drop off. And don’t tell me that United are too big to go bust. Just look at the Royal Bank of Scotland and AIG.
“I think both David Gill and Sir Alex Ferguson are being forced to work with their hands tied behind their backs. My criticism is entirely of the Glazers.”
I have always got United close to my heart.”
One wonders is Fred was so worried when he was United’s official betting partner, before being outbid by Betfair in the Summer.

Though favourable to any ousting of Glazer-like asset stripping,
I remain just as sceptical of any gallant knights and their long-term motives.
Was the last sentence of this blog really necessary?
I say good luck to Fred and the rest of the Red Knights. The sooner we get the Glazers out of our club the better for everyone!
Fren is right. We need many more Red Knights or we’ll end up like Leeds or Pompey.
