[edit] Career
Born in Lowestoft, Suffolk,[1] Money began his career at Scunthorpe United as a defender, later playing for Liverpool, Luton, Portsmouth and Fulham, among others, during the 1970s and 1980s. At Liverpool he was an unused substitute in the 1981 European Cup Final, having played in the semi-final.
Money became caretaker player/manager of Scunthorpe at the end of his playing career. He was later Youth Coach at Aston Villa before returning four years later to Scunthorpe to take the manager's role. He became coach at Nottingham Forest during their successful return to the premiership and Europe in the 1990s before leaving with manager Frank Clark to coach at Manchester City. He also had very successful spells as both Academy Director and First Team Coach at Coventry City.[2] He built up extensive experience in management and coaching in Sweden, as manager of successful club AIK , gaining experience of coaching in the UEFA Cup, and then at Västerås SK, saving them from certain relegation. He then coached in Australia with Newcastle United Jets in the newly formed A-League, leading the club to a fourth place finish and a place in the Grand final series.
Money returned to England to become manager of Walsall in May 2006, signing a two-year contract.[3] 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.[4]
Money resigned from Walsall on 22 April 2008, after it was confirmed the club could not reach the League One play-offs.[5] During his time at The Bescot Stadium, he was affectionately known as "Dickie Dosh".[6]
On the 24 June 2008 it was confirmed that Money would become Newcastle United's Academy Director.[7]
On 30 October 2009, Money was announced as manager of Conference Premier side Luton Town, the club he had played for in the 1982–83 season.[8] After a run of games in March 2010 where Luton won seven out of eight games, scoring twenty-seven goals, Money was given the Conference Manager of the Month award. Luton finished the season in 2nd place.[9]
In August 2010 Money apologised to supporters for confronting them over criticism and abuse of his players. He later released a statement apologising to the club and supporters."[10][11] He was replaced 6 months later by his assistant Gary Brabin on 28 March 2011. He left the club 3rd in the league and with the most successful win ratio of any Luton Town manager.[12]
