Rooney this week had his three-match ban for being sent off for England in Montenegro reduced to two games by a UEFA appeals panel. The decision, which means the Manchester United forward will be able to play in England's final Euro 2012 group game next summer, is good news as far as Moyes is concerned. But the Scot says he has endured a tricky time of it whenever his club have made an appeal to the FA. "They had the opportunity to appeal and they were right to do so," said Moyes, speaking ahead of Saturday's Premier League trip to Arsenal. "But you should see us when we try to appeal - it's absolute murder. "That disciplinary committee - trying to get anything done, or get it through there is terrible." Everton had such a case earlier this season when they challenged Jack Rodwell's dismissal in the Merseyside derby defeat to Liverpool. It proved to be successful, with the red card being rescinded, but Moyes has likened his experience of going in front of the FA to facing a "kangaroo court". He said: "It was right that the decision was overturned, but we didn't get anything back in terms of people saying they had gotten it wrong, and it had contributed to me losing three points. "There was very little said after that, but there seems to be quite a lot being said at the moment." Asked what improvements he would like to see, Moyes said: "It's not down to me - I've got a hard enough job doing my job here. It's up to the FA. "They should listen to the managers and hear their point of view. "We should be given a fair and open opportunity when situations do arise, and 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." Moyes has revealed that Rodwell, who only made his comeback from a rib injury last weekend as a substitute in the 1-0 loss to Stoke, will not feature at the Emirates Stadium due to a hamstring problem he picked up in training on Thursday. Fellow midfield men Leon Osman (hamstring) and Royston Drenthe (foot) will be assessed ahead of kick-off, while Moyes is hopeful that striker Louis Saha will be able to return to action after a thigh injury. The Toffees go into the game against the fifth-placed Gunners lying 10th in the table after an inconsistent start to the season, and they will be coming up against Mikel Arteta for the first time since his move to the north London outfit on transfer deadline day. Moyes admits his team has missed the creative influence of the likes of Steven Pienaar, sold to Tottenham in January, and Arteta, who he feels has fitted in well at his new club and is "revelling" within their free-flowing system. The prospects in terms of boosting the ranks at Goodison Park in next month's transfer window are uncertain, with Moyes saying he was unsure whether a deal to bring back one-time loanee Landon Donovan would be possible, and that he did not know where talk of a potential move to re-sign Pienaar on loan was coming from. Everton released details of their accounts for the financial year ending May 31, 2011, which showed their net debt remaining stable at £44.9million, an increase in turnover of 3.7% and an operating loss of £500,000 before player trading. Moyes has been working within considerable financial constraints and since the period covered by the figures, he has only brought in free transfers or loan players like Drenthe and Denis Stracqualursi, despite selling Arteta, Jermaine Beckford and Ayegbeni Yakubu for a combined total of around £15million. The manager emphasised he is "not about to start moaning about money" and chairman Bill Kenwright - who has been the target of protests over the past couple of months by a section of Toffees fans who believe he is the main barrier to progress on Everton being sold - has stressed the club is doing everything in its power to back Moyes as the search for a new investor goes on. Defender Phil Jagielka, meanwhile, says he understands supporters' frustrations at the current predicament. "You see other teams doing so well who finished below us before, so you can see the fans' frustration," Jagielka told the BBC. "You may think if someone came along and put some investment in that we could maybe kick on. We haven't got any money. "Unfortunately we had to sell to balance the books but hopefully we can bring in a couple in January. "The issue of the ownership of the club has been going on for about six years. "Are we getting new investors or aren't we? The lads don't see anything of the protests, but we read about it in the paper every day."
