In the early 2010s, the club entered in a shadowy cone due to the conflict between the team's owner, Dumitru Sechelariu (former mayor of Bacău) and the newly elected mayor, who chose to retire the public financing of the team and to sustain SC Bacău. Health problems, and subsequently, the premature death of Dumitru Sechelariu in the early 2013, multiplied the existing financial problems of the club. This caused FCM Bacău to withdraw from beginning of the 2013–14 Liga III season, before dissolving later on.
In 2017, the Supporters Association of FCM Bacău, supported by Sergiu Sechelariu, brother of Dumitru and legal owner of the "FCM 1950 Bacău brand", started a collaboration with Gauss Bacău (former SC Bacău) team also left in the meantime without financing by the municipality, but the collaboration broken in the summer of 2018 and after a year of inactivity, the fans (supported again by Sechelariu's brother) started a new project named ASS FCM 1950 Bacău and enrolled the senior squad in the Liga IV.
