The club were rocked by the resignation of Mick Catlin in early June who decided to take up the vacant manager's post at Wick, with Ian Saunders following him out of Church Road. The club quickly appointed Joe Laidlaw and Louis Savage as joint managers - who had previously worked together at Wessex league side Fareham Town - and the club got off to an excellent start with 4 wins and a draw from the first 7 games taking them to second place in the league.

Due to administration error, Chichester were not entered into the FA Cup and they were soon knocked out of the FA Vase after a 7-0 thumping away to Greenwich Borough in the first round. They did reach the third round in the John O'Hara League Challenge Cup and RUR Cup where they were knocked out by Shoreham (2-1) and Pagham (5-1) respectively, but they were less fortunate in the Sussex Senior Cup and Brighton Charity Cup where they were knocked out at the first hurdle by Wealden (2-0) and Steyning Town (L 3-0).

Joe Laidlaw was sacked in February 2008 following a bad run of results which left Chichester in danger of relegation and Louis Savage decided to follow Joe out of the door. Club Director Aidie Girdler came to the clubs' rescue and eventually steered the first team to safety by winning the last two league games of the season. Chichester City United also said goodbye to their temporary home at Church Road on 19th April 2008 (the land being sold off for housing development and Chichester returning to Oaklands Park after an 8 year absence) and signed off with a 5-4 victory against Three Bridges where Darren Hickman was also presented with the Player of the Season award.

The Reserve team had a credible season considering all the comings and goings during the season and ended up in fifth place in the league although they didn't enjoy any cup success.
