Aiolikos F.C. season 2007-08
The 2007–08 season is Aiolikos' 15th season in the professional Divisions of Greece, and their 3rd consecutive season in the Third Division.
Pre-season and Friendlies
The pre-season period was dramatic for Aiolikos. The team accomplished with a lot of chance to avoid the relegation to Fourth Division. Ηowever, into next days the situation became worse, due to lack of constant administration. Also, most of players decided to withdraw from the team. Consequently, the dissolution appearred very likely. Finally, Aiolikos went into judicially controlled administration in July, with the help of some people who were interested about the team, and everything in the team began from zero. Markos Mavrommatis was chosen as manager. In November, the same people undertook the administration of the club. In any case, the preparation was not also better possible after the time margin narrowed. In December, and on the occasion of championship interruption, Aiolikos played two friendlies in Athens.

Third Division
Aiolikos did not make a good start. They played against neophyte Korinthos in the homonym city and lost 4-0, the highest scoring win of the matchday 1. Later, they achieved some good results, sometimes against theoretically rival teams. This break stopped, initially with draws against powerless teams and later with losses. So, the administration decided to sack Mavrommatis, considering him as the person in charge for the bad course of team, and to engage Michalis Grigoriou, who was chosen to coach Fostiras in the season beginning, but resigned after defeat by Aiolikos! Due to economic disagreements of Second & Third Divisions Union with Super League administration, the championship was interrupted from 15 November and will be start again in 6 January.
