- Bookmakers make it odds-on that Man City are deducted points for the 2027/28 season at 11/8, with a deduction this season also well fancied at 15/8.
- Erling Haaland leaving City on a permanent transfer before September 2027 is rated a 2/1 shot, with Phil Foden also facing exit odds of his own.
- At the extreme end, City playing in Sky Bet League One by 2028/29 is priced at 25/1, with Haaland topping the Championship scoring charts in 2027/28 a 33/1 shot.
Specials Market Opens On City's Next Move
Betting sites have moved quickly to put a price on what happens next at Manchester City, after the club was found guilty of the majority of the charges in the long-running case brought by the Premier League.
With City now appealing the decision, bookmakers have opened up a wide-ranging specials market covering everything from points deductions to player exits and stripped titles.
It's a market that captures just how uncertain the next couple of years could be for the club, with some outcomes rated as genuinely live possibilities and others sitting firmly in long-shot territory.
Sanctions are likely to be announced in the coming weeks, with City putting in an appeal against the charges last Friday.

Man City Charges Specials Odds
Man City Charges Specials | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
Man City to be deducted points for the 2027/28 season | 11/8 | 42.1% |
Man City to be deducted points for the 2026/27 season | 15/8 | 34.8% |
Erling Haaland to leave Man City permanently before 01/09/2027 | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Phil Foden to leave Man City permanently before 01/09/2027 | 3/1 | 25.0% |
Enzo Maresca to leave Man City before 31/05/2027 | 10/3 | 23.1% |
Man City to be stripped of 1+ Premier League title | 4/1 | 20.0% |
Erling Haaland to leave Man City permanently before 01/02/2027 | 10/1 | 9.1% |
Enzo Maresca to leave Man City before 01/01/2027 | 11/1 | 8.3% |
Phil Foden to leave Man City permanently before 01/02/2027 | 16/1 | 5.9% |
Man City to play in Sky Bet League One in 2028/29 | 25/1 | 3.8% |
Erling Haaland to be top scorer in the Sky Bet Championship in 2027/28 | 33/1 | 2.9% |
A points deduction looks the most likely immediate consequence, with bookmakers making it odds-on at 11/8 for next season and only slightly longer at 15/8 for a sanction landing as early as this campaign.
That may well see City relegated to the Championship if it's a big deduction.
Haaland leaving on a permanent transfer before September 2027 at 2/1 suggests real confidence that City's biggest asset could be on the move if the situation deteriorates further, while Phil Foden's 3/1 and Enzo Maresca's 10/3 to leave before the end of this season show the uncertainty isn't confined to the playing squad.
A title being stripped completes the leading group at 4/1, reflecting genuine doubt over whether City's recent honours could yet be revisited.
The Longer-Odds Scenarios
The later exit dates naturally carry higher prices, with Haaland's departure before February 2027 out to 10/1 and Maresca's exit before the new year at 11/1, both reflecting the idea that any major moves are more likely to come once the picture around City's punishment becomes clearer.
Foden lingering until February 2027 before a potential exit sits at 16/1.
At the far end of the market, City playing in Sky Bet League One in 2028/29 is priced at 25/1.
Haaland finishing as top scorer in the Sky Bet Championship in 2027/28 completes the list at 33/1, the kind of outcome that would only become plausible under the most dramatic of circumstances for the club.
