Content creator and Nottingham Forest fan Ellie Molloson gives her damning verdict on the charges against Manchester City: "As a Nottingham Forest fan, I don't want to see Manchester City back in the Premier League for at least 10 years.
"In the 2023-24 season, Forest were given a four-point deduction for breaching financial fair play and profitability and sustainability rules.
"We got a four-point deduction, and we were in a really scary relegation battle that season.
"For a considerable chunk of the season, those four points were going to send us down. Admittedly, the football wasn't great. However, we needed every point that we got.
"Man City did not co-operate with the Premier League, and City actively hid up to £900m in revenue that they did not earn. £900m across nine seasons...
"Man City had nine seasons of stolen memories, stolen trophies. They do not deserve the credit they have been given."

"I try to remind my players that we are all living our childhood dreams and we should never forget that," said Oliver Glasner after he welcomed local grassroots coaches and schoolchildren to Nottingham Forest's training ground over the international break.
Callum Hudson-Odoi, Arnaud Kalimuendo and Ryan Yates were among the first-team players in attendance, taking part in an initiative aimed at "further strengthening the connection between the club and the local community".
"It is very important to be accessible to grassroots coaches and kids," Glasner told BBC Radio Nottingham. "Everything usually happens behind closed doors, so if there's ever an opportunity then I'm always open to it.
"I can't talk about what other managers do. All I know is I'm enjoying what I'm doing. I like to be here at the training ground, whether that's with the players, my staff or the other people who work here.
"I'm a human being just like everyone else. We all want the same thing, we all want to be successful, so it's important to create an environment here where everybody feels welcome. That's just how I am."
On the importance of grassroots football, the Forest boss said: "It is where football starts. It is responsible for developing all of the kids in the villages where they grow up.
"It is also important to have coaches who love the kids and love football. The wider the foundation is, the higher the top level gets. It was great to have the coaches here because they are so important to football."
He added: "I love training with kids because I love their enthusiasm. It is just pure joy because life is all about football for them. It really reminds me of when I was a boy - I was playing football all day, whether it was at school or at home.
"When I see children laughing, smiling and having fun, it is the best. Unfortunately we forget that football is supposed to be fun sometimes because of the environment that we're in.
"There will always be pressure for me to perform, of course, but I try to remind my players that we are all living our childhood dreams and we should never forget that."
