Manchester City, despite their recent success, has experienced relegation multiple times throughout their 144-year history. The club started in Division Two before being promoted in 1899, but went on to face relegation in 1902, 1909, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1963, 1983, 1987, and in the Premier League era in 1998. These setbacks were followed by promotions back to the top tier, indicating a pattern of highs and lows for the club.
Since the takeover of Manchester City by Sheikh Mansour in 2008, the likelihood of the club being relegated again in the future is considered low. With the club currently competing for their sixth Premier League title in seven seasons, bookies are not offering odds on their relegation for the 2023/24 campaign. However, the club has faced potential demotion due to breaches of the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability rules, leading to uncertainty surrounding their future in the top flight.
While Manchester City’s recent success may overshadow their history of relegations, it is important to acknowledge the challenges the club has faced in the past. The club has shown resilience in bouncing back from relegations and establishing themselves in the top division, highlighting the determination and perseverance of the Cityzens throughout their long history.
