Ian Holloway has bizarrely claimed that Brexit must be pushed through to stop the European Union "telling us what to do" over new handball rules in the Premier League.
A new law, implemented by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) on June 1 and not the EU, states that any use of the hand in the build-up to a goal or a chance will be penalised.
Manchester City fell foul of the change on Saturday against Tottenham as Aymeric Laporte was deemed to have touched the ball with his hand seconds before Gabriel Jesus's 93rd-minute goal.
VAR soon ruled out the supposed match-winning strike as the game at the Etihad Stadium finished 2-2.
This was the last straw for Holloway. He no longer wants the EU to use their power to tell us what to, especially football laws with which they have no power over.
"For me it doesn't make sense, the handball rule," he said on Sky Sports' 'The Debate' on Tuesday night.
"If it's not handball for both, how can you assess that. And to be fair, is that clear and obvious? They forgot the most important thing of all. Their job is to not re-referee the game but to be clear and obvious, so I don't think that's our boys making up that new change of law.
"I think that's people telling us what we need to do with our game, now they should stop doing that.
"I hope we get out, Brexit, because that's what people are voting for and sorting that out because you cannot have someone telling us how to do our own game."
