In its third attempt to get a long-serving coach the club succeeded, but Kristinn Atlason was swapped for player-coach Vegard Hansen ahead of the 2004 season.
He left in 2005 after the club failed to pay him; the same thing happened to his successor Jonas Jonsson.

As a result, Førland backed out in March 2006, citing unwillingness to commute from Haugesund just for a 45% job.
[45][47] Tips for the 2006 season outcome came from newspapers such as Stavanger Aftenblad, Fædrelandsvennen and Bergens Tidende.
[50] Stord Sunnhordland was eliminated by Fyllingen in the first round of the 2006 Norwegian Football Cup,[51] In the 2006 Norwegian Second Division, Stord Sunnhordland struggled, and was even deducted two points for fielding players that were judged as non-eligible.
