Fred's not interested in externalities he knows how the system works
he is an alright Jack character who thinks he deserves his riches and won't lay a finger to help anyone out if it clashes with his way of thinking.He epitomizes what is wrong with capitalism in the 21st Century. |

He runs the tote you go in his shops and you can not compare tote odds with starting prices because he doesnot show tote prices he's even got a cheek to not show you what the winner paid on the tote after it has won it should be looked in too how this man obtained the tote

The Bald Knocker would have to close his whole estate without horse racing as he would not get a licence to trade..
Not sure why anyone would even take that excuse for a persons view about anything. The freak has gone senile and the sooner he passes the better.. |

Calm down fella. The fraud is someone that got lucky with his large mouth and backing from people that you would not like to meet.. In the old days laid a bet but today in that old peoples home would not lay an egg... |

Appalling coverage on the Morning Line today. Wouldn't have explained anything to the casual observer.
Racing needs to stay united. The tracks who aren't onside should be named and shamed. |

I'll miss Fred being interviewed at Haydock on Temple Stakes day and giving us the benefit of his endlessly fascinating views on politics. As interesting to me as mine would be to him.

They say unless you have something nice to say about somebody it's best to say nothing at all. however........
Was working for an independent back in 2000, race week so was busier than usual when an obnoxious see you next Tuesday barges queue in front of regulars and holidaymakers wanting to get a good look at the new computer system we'd recently trialed and installed at 3 or 4 of our shops (i was the incumbent trying to teach colleagues how to use the system) Most firms were still wary of the early slipcatch/slip capture systems available at that time and carbon slips were in use at 98% of betting shops in the country but this person of a bald persuausion and his entourage were being the biggest pain in the backside of any customers i had previously encountered. Trying to get bets on after the off nicking a price just things that would flag or result in a possible dispute. Anyway to cut a much longer story short he bought out the firm i was working for then and the next firm i worked for (another independent) 4 years after that, both times resulting in me leaving rather than be left in his employ. Not sure if the Rapido draws are still going as i haven't been in a betting shop at opening time for many years but there was some value to be had in the shops i worked in when the computer system was in it's infancy ;) |

" I believe they've got an exaggerated view of what they're going to get from offshore bookmakers. We'll pay it, but at the right rate, and this isn't the right rate. They've made the wrong decision on it." Fred Done regarding ABP status payments.
When did this guy get so entitled, they say pride comes before a fall - lets hope so. As referred to earlier in the thread, he and the rest of the gaming industry ( they are not bookmakers) are expert in lobbying and have erm.... treated MPs to hospitality who are on select committees and the like. The expenses scandal/cash for honours /cash for access/cash for questions ect ect show how cheap many of our MPs are and how vulnerable our Parliamentary democracy is in the face of such powerful vested interests. He's made his money out of the game now takes advantage of the entrepreneurs tax relief when carpetbagging businesses like fork lift companies in Aberdeen, like his moral compass he's miles from where he started out from. Where are the journalist on this , where are the journalists in racing on anything are there any left ? Lets face it they are presenters in hock , mortgaged to the hilt to bookie handouts , whilst playing footsie and guffawing loudly with them on the Morning Line sofa. There is too cosy a relationship between big business and government but what is in the BHA's favour is that the courts will not intervene between sporting bodies and their signed up members so the BHA have a lot of latitude. There needs to be nothing short of a Putinesque re writing of the rules. Fred keep the money you have made , you say you don't make much money out of horse racing now, well you won't miss it then and it certainly won't miss you. |

Fred was mainly responsible for a keen racegoer (me) reducing my attendance on course from 2 or three days a week to zero. Closing the Tote Credit shops was the main reason although advancing age, crowded roads and the ready availability of live coverage at home all played a part.

Well he wont fecking take mine |

Done is currently in the process of closing down the Tote call centre in Wigan, leaving upwards of 100 people redundant a fortnight before Christmas. To rub salt into the wound, he is also refusing to honour the redundancy terms that were in their contracts when he bought the Tote.
One might suggest that this is the measure of the man, and the sort of business that he runs. |

To rub salt into the wound, he is also refusing to honour the redundancy terms that were in their contracts when he bought the Tote. That should be in the press if it isn't already, he really couldn't give a sh1te about anything bar himself. |

Fred has always been the lowest of the low as regards being an employer and indeed a person..
To call the whole family rancid would be to praise them and they are on a par with the Coates family from Stoke.. Imagine if the two families mated (perhaps they have) the offspring would have to be put down at birth or put in Ripley's Odditorium next to the three headed sheep... |

Agree,he is and his company are a desperate set up, but all the online firms have got away
with murder for years as regards the taxation on their businesses and they're now crying wolf. Hope the BHA and JCR stick to their guns and stand their ground, this lot need showing who's running the show. The truth about the Tote sale is that he never wanted the pool business but had to take it to get his hands on the shops and the FOBT'S, the whole thing still stinks, many brown envelopes i'll wager. |

Fred Done is a greedy, grubby individual. Dreadful man, even worse employer.
In the long term the whole racing industry will be better off without his type being involved in any way whatsoever. |

By:
He gave his immediate family (most of whom are "directors") the best of the Tote company cars when he got control of it, and made a large proportion of the Wigan Head Office redundant.
He then tried to buy out Tote Managers pension rights in order to avoid paying higher pensions than Betfred employees were on. Words can't fully describe the tricks his company gets up to |
