After 4 games with 3 wins the club managed to erase the 6-point deduction and register a positive point tally. Had the penalty not been imposed the club would have been top of the league. After the positive start to the season, the young players were unable to take the pressure of the rugged Cypriot Second Division and six consecutive defeats and a further 3-point deduction, meant the resignation of coach Costas Seraphim in December 2013, the replacement was Savvas Paraskeva, an ex Cypriot youth team national coach. The arrival of Paraskeva, did not arrest the club's decline and the club finished 6th. After a further change of rules, with 14 teams playing in the second division, the club was spared the humiliation of third tier football and played in the second division for the 2014–2015 season. With around 1.6 million Euro of total legacy debt (old players, banks, creditors and the state) however, the future of the club was looking all the more uncertain.
