Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart turned in an assured display at Wembley and earned his former club £500,000 in the process after playing in his first competitive international, a clause having been included in his transfer deal.
"That money coming in will be set aside for the needs if ever they arise," manager Graham Turner told BBC Radio Shropshire.
"Having been a chairman myself, I know how difficult it is to run a club at this level and keep it in the black."
