Manager's heartfelt thanks to players:
Steve Morison revealed he held a meeting with his players to thank them for putting on performances which have ultimately earned him a longer-term contract.
The Bluebirds boss was handed a deal until the end of next season after overseeing a marked improvement in both results and performances after a woeful start to the campaign under Mick McCarthy.
And Morison thanked his players for believing in his methods and carrying them out to a tee, resulting in the manager keeping his post next term.
STEVE MORISON:
""I had a meeting with them to thank them, I would not be sat here for a longer period of time if it wasn't for them and their efforts," said Morison.
"I told them I respected them all anyway but I respect them even more now as human beings. They could have not bothered with me, not bought into what I wanted to do, they could have not trusted me, but they have. I am really grateful for that."
He added: "I shared a pitch with a lot of them, so having stood in front of them and asked them to carry out a job, I have the utmost respect for them that they have done that.
"They have managed to get me an extended period in the job, we have had some really good moments, have really enjoyed it and I am really grateful and thankful to them."
