My advice is to disband the newly-formed Livewire completely and start a community team as rookies under a new name & identity. Recruit additional kids from outside the schools as well. That way you get a rookie KOP.

From the way you've presented it, it sounds like the team got shafted by someone who was afraid that the money in the county would thin out due to your former team's success (championship attendance is NOT cheap).
