[edit] Career
Money began his career at Scunthorpe United as a defender, later playing for Liverpool and Fulham, among others, during the 1970's and 1980's. At Liverpool he was an unused substitute in the 1981 European Cup Final, having played in the semi-final.
Money became manager of Scunthorpe United in the early 1990s, but enjoyed little success, and was later named Head of Youth Development at Aston Villa and First Team Coach at Coventry City.[1] He built up extensive experience coaching sides in Sweden, as manager of successful club AIK and lower-league Västerås SK, and in Australia with Newcastle United Jets in the inaugural season of the A-League, leading the club to a fourth place finish.
Money returned to England to become manager of Walsall in May 2006, signing a two-year contract.[2] He guided Walsall to the League Two title in the 2006–07 season, with the club conceding just 34 goals over 46 games. He was linked with the vacant managerial position at local rivals Coventry City in February 2008.[3]
Money resigned from Walsall on 22 April 2008, after it was confirmed the club could not reach the League One play-offs.[4] During his time at The Bescot Stadium, he was affectionately known as "Dickie Dosh".[5]
On the 24 June 2008 it was confirmed that Money would become Newcastle United's Academy Director.[6]
On 30 October 2009, Money was announced as manager of Conference side Luton Town, the club he had once played for in the 1982–83 season.[7]
