Moyes seeks clarity over Premier League’s decision not to deduct points from Chelsea
Manager believes league has left itself open to criticism
TL;DR
- David Moyes wants the Premier League to explain why Chelsea were not deducted points for financial rule breaches.
- Everton received a 10-point deduction (reduced to six on appeal) and Nottingham Forest received a four-point deduction for similar breaches.
- Chelsea were fined £10.75m, given a suspended transfer embargo, and a nine-month academy transfer ban for illicit payments totalling £47.5m under Roman Abramovich.
- The Premier League stated a points deduction was not appropriate for Chelsea, citing self-reporting by the new owners.
- Moyes feels the Premier League's disciplinary system shows perceived double standards and its explanation for Chelsea's penalty is not clear enough.
