West Ham boss David Moyes says the pending points penalties expected for Everton and Nottingham Forest is hurting the Premier League's credibility.

Moyes says the initial Everton ruling has already proved a mess.

"I think first and foremost it's probably frightened all the owners about how much money we're going to be able to spend and how we spend it," said Moyes, whose only January signing was Kalvin Phillips on loan from Manchester City. “Everybody's got a bit frightened by it.

“What's more disappointing is that a panel of some of the top QCs have probably sat and got [Everton's initial punishment] wrong in some way. It's a bit like if anybody goes to court, you're hoping that the people in charge will do their job right.

“The first panel's said it's ten points, the second panel's said no, there should be a reduction. I'm not an expert, I don't know how they've got to the points but we shouldn't be getting it wrong.

“It was the feeling right away when it came out that everybody thought this might change. That meant Everton must've had a good enough case to say why it's unfair. You'd have thought the panel would have considered that when they were dealing with it."
