'I had no idea club was this big' - Barry-Murphy
Brian Barry-Murphy says he has only come to appreciate the size of Cardiff City since taking charge of the club in June.
Barry-Murphy has made a spectacular start to life as Cardiff boss, with his side top of League One having taken 16 points from six third-tier games and still in the EFL Cup.
The Irishman, who has previously worked at Rochdale, Manchester City and Leicester City, says he has been surprised by Cardiff's stature.

"I think sometimes you look like you are doing a bit of PR [when you say that], but this is a massive club," Barry-Murphy said.
"I was aware it was big, which is one of the reasons why I came here, but I had no idea it was this big."
Barry-Murphy, whose side return to action at Stockport on Saturday, 13 September, says a recent fans' forum in Maesteg made an impression on him.
"We train in the Vale [of Glamorgan Hotel] and it took me almost an hour to get to Maesteg," he added.
"That's quite far for the supporters' range to be.”
"Then I came back a different way over the mountain tops and you start to see where these people who support the club are from. It gives you a great appreciation of why you are doing what you are doing."
