HARRY Redknapp and David Moyes became the latest Premier League managers to round on the English FA on Friday in the aftermath of its appeal against Wayne Rooney's Euro 2012 ban.
Redknapp said the FA's stance had "opened up a can of worms" while Moyes described his experience of the governing body's appeals process as a "kangaroo court".
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish said on Thursday the FA had failed to set an example in appealing the England striker's suspension.
Rooney, who was banned for kicking out at Montenegro's Miodrag Dzudovic in a qualifying match, had his three-game suspension reduced to two by UEFA on Thursday following a successful appeal from the FA.
"For them to get it from three to two, it opens up a can of worms," Tottenham Hotspur manager Redknapp told reporters.
"There will be clubs appealing against bans and they will want to know why they aren't getting it cut from three to two for similar situations."
Everton manager Moyes contrasted the Rooney situation with his experience of appeals to the FA.
"You should see us when we try to appeal - it's absolute murder," he said. "I've got to say, the times that I have been in front them, it's like a kangaroo court, you've got no chance."
In response to Dalglish's criticism, the English FA released a statement defending its decision to appeal on the grounds that UEFA's disciplinary system was different to its own.
