We’re refunding ALL outright bets on teams that finished second to City since the start of their FFP investigation
Coleen Rooney has joined forces with Paddy Power to put right Manchester City’s dodgy financial dealings. Wazza’s better-half demanded we deliver a record-breaking Justice Refund for every punter who placed a bet on a team that finished second to City since the start of their FFP woes in 2011.
Spanning 14 years, our Justice Refund covers EIGHT seasons – and it’s good news for Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool backers.
More than 100,000 punters who backed Manchester United to win the league in 2011/12, 2017/18 and 2020/21, Liverpool (2013/14, 2018/19 and 2021/22) and Arsenal (2022/23 and 2023/24) will all have their stakes returned despite an official verdict into City’s alleged 115 financial charges yet to be announced.
Coleen has taken the reins at Power Tower, diving headfirst into the nation’s most pressing and troubling issues – and we’ve documented it all with our video crew.
The Man City FFP saga has been dragging on far too long, so time for Coleen Rooney to investigate…

She brings her no-nonsense approach to problems blighting the public, such as whether nothing does, in fact, beat a Jet2 holiday, as well as Arsenal fans’ (latest) refereeing conspiracy theories.
She also sniffed out a phone call praising VAR from a ‘Mr Howard Wobb’ before going for the jugular – the big issue that has been dragging on for years and years.
With a knowing look to the camera, Coleen presented her findings on City’s FFP trial and delivered her verdict – that if the game’s authorities won’t sort it out, Paddy Power will.
Coleen Rooney said: “Fans invest so much into football, emotionally and financially, and sometimes it feels like they don’t get much back. This was a fun way to shine a light on that, whilst actually giving something back to the people who make the game what it is.”
While our own Paddy Power added: “This FFP investigation has been dragging on for years and years, with fans being left completely in the dark. So, if those running the game won’t get it sorted, we thought it was about time someone stood up on the side of supporters.
“That’s why we’ve issued our biggest-ever Justice Refund, to give something back to those fans who have been waiting, and waiting, for any white smoke on the investigation to emerge from the Premier League.”
The huge seven-figure Justice Refund is almost double the largest amount Paddy Power has ever given back to punters. The previous highest amount came at the 2022 World Cup when Cristiano Ronaldo claimed a goal for Portugal that was officially given to Bruno Fernandes – only for Paddy to overrule and settle it as a goal and a shot on target.
