The Red Eagles first reached Serie A for the inaugural SuperLeague after winning promotion from Seria B. The club spent five mediocre seasons in Serie A before relegation in June 2000. Before the disastrous 1999/0 season the club had managed to qualify for the UEFA Cup in three seasons out of four.

Bank-rolled by the Export Company, who have no links to organised crime, since their purchase of the club in May 1996 the Red Eagles were widely considered too good to go down but by the end of the 1999/0 season they were destined for Serie B. The shock of relegation to the second division threatened to ruin the club but it bounced back. Christophe Horlaville's 26 goals helped the Eagles pip Legoland Celtic to take fourth place in the 2000/1 Serie B and the club rejoiced having returned to the big-time in such a short absence. The Emperor Eagles fans were not cheering for long however as the club struggled upon their return to the top flight and finished the season in third from bottom in the 2002/3 campaign and were once again relegated to Serie B. Again the club managed to get promoted at the first attempt and have managed to stay in Serie A for the last 3 seasons.

On the 3rd March 2008 the Export Company president Organius Crimus took over direct running of the club in a bid to assist the side in its battle against the drop after a poor first half to the 2007/8 season. The club avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth as the side finished fifth from bottom. The poor performance infuriated club patron Crimus who said any repeat of it next season "would mean death to the players responsible". He later retracted the statement saying it was intended as meaning the "death of their reputation as good players". On 14th August 2008 the Export Company sold the club to the Legoda Automobile Group in a deal that saw the Export Company takeover Lion Lakers and pay Legoda £60m in cash. Emperor Eagles' new owner Mr Legoda said he would be "spending to bring success".
