With a new sponsor, Odra was a sensation in the autumn 2000 round of the second division. With 13 victories, 3 ties and 3 losses, it was the leader of its group. In the spring of 2001 however, Odra lost several games and finished in the 4th spot. As was later revealed, Odra's successes of autumn 2000 were based on corruption, as games were set up by Ryszard Forbrich, aka Fryzjer. In June 2002 Odra was relegated to the third level, to return to the second division in June 2006, after winning playoffs with Radomiak Radom (1–1, 1–1 and 4–2 in the penalty shootout). In October 2006, for the first time in club's history, a foreigner, Dutchman Guido Vreuls was named Odra's chairman. On 9 January 2008, another Dutchman, Rob Delahaije, became Odra's manager, but his record was very disappointing: 4 ties, 2 losses.
