Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock launched a passionate defence of Brexit after his side's stalemate with Huddersfield, saying the country will be better off "in every aspect".
One of the many potential consequences of the UK leaving Europe could be an increased difficulty for Premier League clubs looking to buy foreign players.
But Warnock played down such fears, and aired his strong belief that leaving the EU will be a wholly positive move.
"I think once the country knows what they’re doing, it will be straightforward [to make signings]," said the 70-year-old.
"Any transfer window is difficult for me, not just this one.
"I don’t know why politicians don’t do what the country wants, if I’m honest. They had a referendum and now we see different politicians and everyone else trying to put their foot in it … Why did we have a referendum in the first bloody place?
"I can’t wait to get out of it, if I’m honest. I think we’ll be far better out of the bloody thing. In every aspect. Football-wise as well, absolutely. To hell with the rest of the world."
Warnock's comments might raise eyebrows at Cardiff, both at boardroom level and in the dressing room.
Cardiff are owned by Malaysian businessman Vincent Tan and chief executive Ken Choo is also from that country, while chairman Mehmet Dalman was born in Cyprus.
Warnock also has a cosmopolitan dressing room with Canada, Denmark, Gabon, Iceland, the Ivory Coast, the Philippines, the Republic of Ireland and Spain represented in his squad, as well as players drawn from the home nations.
The 70-year-old has been frustrated in attempts to sign foreign players during the January transfer window, with Cardiff confirming bids have been made for Nantes striker Emiliano Sala and Nice midfielder Adrien Tameze.
"We've got three main targets now," Warnock said.
"But we thought we had a midfielder [Tameze] signed last week and that fell through.
"I don't think you can say anything until they're actually sat in your office signing the papers.
"Agents get a sniff elsewhere, with better deals. That's the job we're in at the minute."
