The Manchester City relegation odds have been a hot topic amongst odds traders around the world in recent weeks, with many experts predicting the Premier League champions to be handed a hefty points deduction outcome with regards to their ongoing financial rules hearing.

As a result, the Man City relegation odds, which are normally as big as 1000/1+, are now just 12/1 and even as short as 6/1 with some firms.

Meaning the football layers are giving the Premier League heavyweights a 14.3% chance of dropping out of the English top-flight, which is the same as teams like Crystal Palace, Fulham and Nottingham Forest.

Man City Predicted To Get A 100+ Points Deduction Say Betting Experts

This latest Man City relegation odds slashing has come with finance experts, including Kieran Maguire, recently predicted a huge points deduction – prompting the sportscasting.com/uk traders to shave on odds on the Premier League champions being docked 100+ points to just 5/1.

With Man City’s long-awaited Premier League’s financial rules hearing is now underway and the betting experts have also priced up the most likely outcomes – including cutting the odds on ANY points deduction to just 1/8 (from 4/6) with the best football betting sites in the UK.

While if these predictions come true, this could then lead to a snowball effect of other scenarios – so it’s also no shock to see the traders going odds-on (10/11) that the owners sell up and walk away, while it’s the same price that star striker Erling Haaland leaves before the start of next season.

Indicating at these odds, the Man City owners are more likely to sell before next season, than win this season’s Premier League title.

In addition, they are also only slightly odds against (11/10) that boss Pep Guardiola calls time on his City career after this campaign.

Man City Relegation Odds Cut By Over 950 Points

With Man City coasting in the early part of the new 2024/25 season, their relegation odds would normally be in the region of 1000/1+.

I mean this would surely be a bigger shock than when Leicester City won the Premier League in 2015-16 – if City were to be relegated.

However, the odds experts are taking no chances with those three-figure prices with their big financial trial still ongoing – especially as many are now predicting a much bigger penalty that first anticipated.

With deductions of up to 100 points being thrown around as very likely outcomes. This would mean certain relegation for Man City.

Last year in their 2023/24 winning title season the Blue Moon racked up 91 points to take the title – but with a 100 point penalty even this haul would see then relegated with -9 points.

This would have been 25 points less than the bottom team Sheffield United, who went down with 16 points.

While the other two relegated sides – Burnley and Luton Town got 24 and 26 points.

Man City Charges

  • To be found guilty of any of the 115 alleged offences – 1/20
  • To be given a points deduction – 1/8 (was 4/6)
  • To be demoted from the league – 4/1
  • To have retrospective titles stripped – 6/1
  • To only get a fine – 7/1

Man City’s Woes Will Be A Bonus For Some Premier League Sides

Yes, Man City fans could easily be facing a season in the Championship in the seasons to come – with this likely to lead to a mass exodus of big players and maybe even their owners, so it might not be easy for them to get back to the Premier League. We’ll see.

Manchester City have been in the Premier League since 2002-03.

However, City’s woes will actually give Premier League sides near the foot of the table a bit of a lift – should they get the 100+ predicted points ban.

If City get a 100+ point deduction and drop – this will of course mean, there are only two other relegation places up for grabs.

The current Premier League relegation favourites for the 2024/25 season are Southampton, with Leicester, Ipswich and Everton next best in this market.

Experts Also Predicting Many Big Name Man City Player Sales

When it rains it pours and this could be the case for Manchester City in the coming months, if the outcome of their financial trial is a grim one.

As mentioned, a big points deduction fine will lead to many things – the unthinkable relegation from the Premier League. Which will then prompt big names at the club to seek employment elsewhere.

These changes could start with the owners themselves with the Abu Dhabi United Group calling time on their Man City journey.

Which might then make City boss Pep Guardiola, who has been at the helm since 2016, think twice about staying.

And finally, the players. There is no way big names like Erling Haaland are going to plying their trade in the Championship – even if it was for just a season. Which is great news for the other sides in that league as he’d probably score 200 goals.

While other star players like Jack Grealish, Kevin DeBruyne, John Stones and Rodri would also be long odds-on to leave before the start of the 2024/25 season.

All-in-all, there seem to be some very testing times ahead for Man City and there is every chance the purple-patch period the side has had over the last 10 seasons could be coming to an end.

On a plus, at least the city can rejoice with the reforming of Oasis.

Pep Guardiola Odds

  • Leaves after 24/25 season 11/10
  • Starts 25/26 season in charge 2/1
  • Leaves during 24/25 season 3/1

Players to leave before start of next season

  • Kevin DeBruyne 1/20
  • Ederson 1/12
  • Bernardo Silva 1/6
  • John Stones 1/3
  • Ruben Dias 4/7
  • Rodri 4/6
  • Jack Grealish 4/5
  • Erling Haaland 10/11
  • Phil Foden 6/4

Owners

  • To sell up before the start of next season 10/11

Commentary:

sportscasting.com/uk spokesman Andy Newton, reacted to our ‘Man City Charges’ odds saying:

“A few months ago, the wider opinion regarding the Man City financial rules hearing was that the Premier League champions would most likely get off with a small points deduction, a fine or a slapped wrist.

“However, with influential football finance experts, like Kieran Maguire wading into the argument and predicting a massive 100+ points deduction – it’s no shock to see the odds traders react accordingly – cutting the price on any points deduction to just 1/8 (from 4/6). 

“If so, this could spark a mass exodus at City, starting with their wealthy owners and manager Pep Guardiola. While big names like Haaland, Stones, Grealish and Rodri are all odds-on to leave before the start of next season. Meaning the blue side of Manchester’s stranglehold on the Premier League could be coming to an end.
