Accrington owner Holt in fresh Klopp blast: Spit your dummy out! Go on the p*** for fortnight!

Accrington Stanley owner Andy Holt has launched a new attack on Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp after his decision to blank their FA Cup replay.

It's the second time in a week that Holt has taken issue with Klopp over the Reds' fourth-round replay with Shrewsbury after the German confirmed that he would not be attending the cup clash at Anfield.

"In the calendar there are no free dates to put @EmiratesFACup 4th round replays and let prem have a couple of weeks off," he said on Twitter.

"All clubs knew full well when 4th round replays were to be played before the season started. The @PremierLeague answer to this is to take another 'greatest day' opportunity away from our clubs, by scrapping that replay too.

"LIE BACK AND THINK OF ENGLAND. Klopp spitting his considerable dummy out will not change these facts. We lose opportunity so he can go on the p*** for a fortnight.

"This is not about @LFC or Klopp, because the big clubs are all the same. They see only one side of the story. Meanwhile @EFL are sinking deeper and deeper.

"I have told the @EFL board that they are not representing our club properly. If they were we would have no break."

Holt went on to accuse England's top-flight clubs of not giving a 's**t' about community clubs further down the footballing ladder.

"We're losing money this year, we need more games not less," he continued. "I'd be happy to accommodate where possible if they gave a single s**t for OUR communities clubs. They don't.

"Until they do I will be calling them out and fighting our corner, tooth and nail publicly because @EFL is not doing it's job properly and fighting for us.

"You see, @ASFCofficial is just as important to OUR town and OUR supporters as theirs will ever be. THEY SHOULD RESPECT THIS. And I'm not shouting Jim. Anyone not wanting to see this fight, block me.

"The laughable thing is these clubs grumble about kids not getting game time whilst cutting back games, and us @England as the public rationale for their demands. My a***."
