In 2006/07 Cardiff City finished 13th in the Championship. Since then we have always been either a top half Championship side or Premier League team. We're one of only 11 clubs over the last 14 seasons to have managed that. In that list, apart from us, only Newcastle, West Brom and West Ham have played any football in the Championship, the rest are Premier League regulars, making us 1 of only 4 teams in 14 years to have played in the Championship and not finished in the bottom half.

I think that's a remarkable achievement.
