Jurgen Klopp has slammed travel disruption around the FA Cup semi-final.
Liverpool and Manchester City fans attending their April 16 showdown face a logistical nightmare due to Network Rail carrying out essential maintenance.
Those repairs on the West Coast Mainline means that supporters of both clubs will be unable to travel to Wembley via train from their respective home cities.
The Football Association has pledged to lay on coaches to ferry 5,000 people to the national stadium from Anfield and the Etihad Stadium for the clash.
But Klopp believes the governing body should been more considered in their scheduling after being given advance notice of the planned engineering works.
He said: “It’s one of the most ridiculous stories I ever heard, that they knew it [about] since 18 months.
“I’m not sure what the FA thought, that no club from the North West will be part of the semi-finals, I really can’t believe that things like this can happen with all the information you have out there.
“And I heard now the FA will put on some coaches on the road but usually it’s four-and-a-half hours to London. It will be then 12 probably because all the coaches [are travelling] in the same direction.
“It makes absolutely no sense. A great decision…
“I’m not sure when they had to decide about when is the semi-final. I think there would have been probably another weekend between the Champions League games, so the City game would be our City game.
“That would have been funny if they moved the City game [in the Premier League] for the City game but maybe on that weekend at least all fans could have gone to Wembley and now they can’t or it’s more difficult.
“On the other hand how I know our people, they will find a way. I’m just really not happy that somebody made it complicated for them.
“It should be easier to go and see your football team in a semi-final than the ways they have to choose now.”
