The triumphant Saddlers boss, who has spent the weekend savouring a breakthrough promotion in his English managerial career, wants his side to finish the season with a flourish in an attempt to land the League Two title.
But, after Saturday's win at Notts County clinched promotion, Money lifted the veil on some of the groundwork already underway at Bescot to ensure a strong challenge at the higher level.
