Arne Slot allegedly told Michael Oliver that he would blame the referee if Liverpool didn’t win the Premier League, as part of his foul-mouth assault on the official that saw him earn a red card against Everton last month.
The Dutchman was shown a straight red card by the referee after full-time at Goodison Park in last month's Merseyside derby and the details of what he said to Oliver have since been released by the FA as part of the independent regulatory commission's findings.
It states the referee was approached by Slot in a ‘confrontational and aggressive’ manner, and he used abusive words while shaking Oliver’s hand.
Slot told the referee that he ‘“f---ing give them [Everton] everything” and added he hoped Oliver ‘was proud of that performance’.

The FA claims Slot then approached the official again around a minute later, again shaking hands and telling Oliver: "If we don’t win the league, I’ll f---ing blame you." He also twice shouted it was 'a f---ing disgrace' at the assistant referee, the detailed FA report adds in a 16-page report.
However, Slot refuted part of that and stated he told Oliver: "If we don’t win the league, I will have you to thank for that." The Liverpool boss provided written statement to the FA and apologized both privately and publicly.
Slot was one of four red cards following the chaotic scenes in the immediate aftermath of the 2-2 draw at Everton.
He allegedly told Oliver he was 'f---ing s---', 'gave them everything' and was a 'f---ing disgrace'.
Hulshoff was eventually restrained but continued to shout 'f---ing s---' at Oliver.
On the red cards for Abdoulaye Doucoure and Curtis Jones, the FA notes the Everton midfielder ran 'some 20-25 yards towards the stand where the LFC supporters were housed' which 'prompted a reaction' from Jones and caused 'both players to act in an aggressive confrontation'.
