Being Cardiff City manager is a way bigger job than many first realise, including dare I say it some of those who have held down the post in recent times.
Outside of the really big teams in the Premier League, few clubs get the kind of day to day, wall-to-wall coverage and scrutiny that Cardiff City do. The profile goes with the territory - this is a capital city club brimful of potential which has needed unlocking for decades, an excellent stadium, a big fan base demanding and expecting.
When Neil Warnock briefly turned that key, the Bluebirds were among the best supported clubs in the Premier League. So, outside of the top six giants, then big guns Newcastle, Everton and West Ham, the Bluebirds were neck and neck with Leicester for 10th spot in the fans' table - and regularly sold out their away allocation, too.
