Coleen Rooney revives Wagatha Christie skills as a detective investigating Man City charges in hilarious Paddy Power ad
In 2019 Coleen accused Rebekah Vardy of leaking stories about her. In 2019 Coleen accused Rebekah Vardy of leaking stories about her. COLEEN ROONEY revived her epic super sleuth skills to investigate Man City's Financial Fair Play case in a hilarious new Paddy Power sketch. The 39-year-old aka 'Wagatha Christie' has teamed up with the Irish betting company to announce its record-breaking 'Justice Refund'. 2 Coleen Rooney has teamed up with Paddy Power to announce its record-breaking 'Justice Refund' Credit: Paddy Power 2 Coleen Rooney stars in the latest Paddy Power advert Credit: Paddy Power Advertisement In the clip, no-nonsense Coleen, who is married to Wayne Rooney, is the boss of a parody 'Investigation Department' tackling a number mock cases. In a mock office she examines joke complaints including whether "nothing beats a Jet2 holiday" and the "latest refereeing conspiracy theories" by Arsenal fans. She then uncovers a suspicious phone call from a 'Mr Howard Wobb' heaping praise on VAR and hailing referees. But the sketch reaches its crescendo when she has to crack the case of the ongoing FFP saga. Advertisement City were slapped with a whopping 115 charges over alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play rules back in February which then went up to 130. She gives her verdict saying that Paddy Power will sort it out once and for all if the game's bigwigs won't. The Paddy Power 'Justice Refund' is a payback scheme giving money back to all punters who backed a team that finished second to Manchester City in the Premier League since 2011. BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS Advertisement It covers eight seasons, meaning Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool fans who placed title bets in those years will have their stakes returned. More than 100,000 punters are set to benefit - including those who backed United in 2011/12, 2017/18 and 2020/21, Liverpool in 2013/14, 2018/19 and 2021/22, and Arsenal in 2022/23 and 2023/24. Rebekah Vardy LOSES bid to have Coleen Rooney's Wagatha Christie court costs slashed & faces £1.6m bill An official verdict on City's alleged 115 financial charges are still pending after the hearing concluded last December. City have vehemently denied the charges and have been fighting their corner at London's International Dispute Resolution Centre since mid-September. City have been accused of failing to accurately report their finances over a nine-year period from 2009-10 and 2017-18. Advertisement It's also alleged they failed to provide all the details about former manager Roberto Mancini's pay packets between 2009-10 and 2012-13. The charges also relate to their alleged failure to disclose full player salaries between 2010-11 and 2015-16. In addition to their alleged financial wrongdoings, City have been accused of failing to co-operate with the Prem's investigation. If found guilty, City could be hit with huge financial penalties and a points deducation. They could also be RELEGATED if they're found to have committed the most serious charges. Advertisement The club will likely appeal any verdict which doesn't go their way, meaning the final decision may not be made until the end of NEXT SEASON. The Wagatha Christie saga involved two former friends - Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy - and resulted in a High Court libel battle. Coleen shared a lengthy Instagram post accusing her pal of leaking stories about her. In 2022, three years after Coleen's initial accusation, Rebekah launched a libel case against her, which she lost.

The Scottish side came away from the Austrian capital with a 2-2 draw last week and will fancy their chances of advancing to the play-off stage of the competition in front of their own fans here. Whoever wins this tie will face the winners of AIK v FC Gyor in the play-off round. Ahead of the game, United manager Jim Goodwin revealed Isaac Pappoe is out for 'a lengthy period of time' with a knee injury, adding that he is hopeful he can get Luca Stephenson back from Liverpool on another loan spell. The home side are also without Ryan Strain, Kristijan Trapanovski and Ross Graham (hamstring injuries) and Dario Naamo also remains out, while Max Watters returns after missing the weekend Scottish Premiership defeat to Hearts at Tannadice with a bug. Here's what you need to know about the game: Where and when is it? The match takes place at Tannadice Park on Thursday, August 14. What time is kick-off? The action gets under way at 7pm.

Quotes corner Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin: 'It's a great occasion, especially off the back of the performance last week in Vienna. 'It was a great atmosphere at the game, generated by both sets of supporters and our own supporters are going to turn out in great numbers for the game tomorrow night and we really need them to generate that type of hostile atmosphere that we felt from the Rapid Vienna fans last week. 'The players put in a great performance, we've taken learnings from the game in areas that we think we can improve and do better. 'Both goals against were certainly avoidable and there was moments within those situations that we could have done better. 'But from an offensive perspective, I thought we offered a lot to the game and we caused Vienna a number of problems at the back, and obviously scored a couple of really good goals. 'So it's going to take the same level of commitment, the same level of effort from the players, which won't be an issue. 'The guys are really excited. The adrenaline for an occasion like tomorrow night will drive the players on and hopefully we'll have a really memorable evening to look back on.'
