Tjerand Espeland. A new coach, Morten Tislevoll, was soon hired. Ahead of the 2006 season the squad was strengthened with two players including Kevin De Serpa, but they lost five players, including Christian Brink to Sogndal. Tips for the 2006 season outcome came from newspapers such as Stavanger Aftenblad, Fædrelandsvennen and Bergens Tidende. Fædrelandsvennen tipped a tenth place for Stord Sunnhordland, Stavanger Aftenblad tipped a thirteenth place (and relegation), and Bergens Tidende also tipped a thirteenth place. Stord Sunnhordland was eliminated by Fyllingen in the first round of the 2006 Norwegian Football Cup, In the 2006 Norwegian Second Division, Stord Sunnhordland struggled, and was even deducted two points for fielding players that were judged as non-eligible. After a loss to Flekkerøy in October the relegation was clear. A thirteenth place became the result. A new head coach Petter Fossmark was hired before, in December 2006, it was decided to discontinue the club. Its spot in the league system and its squad was transferred back to Stord IL. The chairman of the new limited company Sunnhordland Toppfotball, which now supported the club, said that Stord Sunnhordland had "been a club without soul".
