A succession of managers have come and gone, usually taking all the players with them. Mick Beadle steadily improved the side in the four years he was with the club, but former Kettering player and Bedworth Assistant Manager, Carl Adams was appointed manager in September 2008, and he led Coleshill to the Midland Combination Premiership Championship for the first time in the club’s history, clawing back a 22-point deficit and beating Highgate United to the title on goal difference, on the last day of the season.

Fifteen games into the new season Carl Adams stood down quoting family and work commitments the reason for his departure. Neil Kitching and Martin Socket were quickly installed as a joint management with the Reserve team that season winning the Challenge Bowl.

In October 2005 Coleshill were awarded Adult Standard Charter status by the football Association and in 2012 awarded Junior Standard Chartered Status.

For the season 2008/09 a new line up of Directors and Sectary took control of the club and commenced the process of stabilization. In 2011/12, Coleshill Town reserves won the MFC Reserve Division Two title and were runners up in the Challenge Bowl cup final, in 2013/14 finished runner ups in the MFL Reserve Division One and in 2015/16 were crowned champions of the Reserve League and were runners-up in their League Cup.

In 2012/13 the club appointed Paul Casey mid-way through the season with the thankless task of saving the club from relegation with two games to go this task was achieved and the U18s finished a credible third in the Floodlight League and were finalists in the Birmingham Youth Cup.

2013/14 was a record-breaking season, finishing fourth in the Midland Football Alliance the highest ever position in the club’s history breaking all previous win, goal scored records and Paul Casey took the team to the Fourth Round of the FA Vase narrowly missing out on victory in the Northeast at Dunston.

2014/15 was yet again another record-breaking season, finishing second in the newly formed Midland Football League breaking the 2013/14 season records for the highest ever position in the clubs history breaking all previous win, goal scored stats and he took the team to the Semi-Final of the Birmingham Senior cup missing out on a place in the final taking Birmingham City all the way to penalties.
