"Good evening," the club owner started before a barrage of posts as he informed his followers and Accrington Stanley supporters he would answer all questions about his his time at the club honestly.

"I will clarify finances, decisions, budgets, losses, impact of losing L1 (League One) status, opinion on the same, reality of L2 (League Two), danger of loss of @EFL status and any other questions.

“Who takes responsibility for all of the awful signings that were blatantly not good enough?" one fan asked, to which Holt simply replied: "John Coleman,” he added.

"It was clear today, I lost the fan base and our managers that have cost over £3m in my time at the club. #holtyout."
