Neil Warnock says he is immensely proud of the work he has done at Cardiff as he celebrated two years in charge of the Bluebirds on Friday.
Warnock replaced Paul Trollope 11 games into the 2016-17 Championship season, with Cardiff one place off bottom after picking up just two wins.
Cardiff would go on to finish 12th that season before Warnock completed a remarkable turnaround by leading the Bluebirds to automatic Premier League promotion after finishing second behind Wolves last term.
"There is so much water that has gone under the bridge. It's been an amazing time really," Warnock said on his second anniversary as Cardiff manager.
"It's something I'm really proud of in my career I have got to say. but we have got to move forward now.
"Last week - when I saw Burnley on a Sunday afternoon and there were over 30,000 there - I thought it was incredible really. The fans have really come on board.
"I think that's my biggest achievement, getting the club together, because it was a little bit fragmented when I came and I think putting everybody together [and getting everyone together] supporting the club is a fabulous feeling.
"Now all I've got to do is get some results now to make them even more happy."
Warnock, whose side are one from bottom, admitted "points are precious" in the Premier League as he prepares to take his side to London for what looks on paper like a difficult away trip against Tottenham.
The state of the Wembley pitch during Tottenham's midweek Champions League clash with Barcelona has generated plenty of debate in recent days.
Warnock says it did not resemble the hallowed turf he associates with Wembley, adding he felt somewhat underwhelmed that his side's visit was not being played at Spurs' new stadium.
"It didn't look good, did it?" Warnock said of the Wembley pitch.
"But I don't know sometimes you get a false impression with the cameras from above but it didn't seem to play badly.
"It didn't look good though, and I was very surprised because going to Wembley in the old days it was just like a bowling green, it was unbelievable, it was like playing on a snooker table.
"I'm pleased for the fans that they are going to go there although a little disappointed it's not at the new (Spurs) stadium. But it's not to be.
"I've always said White Hart Lane was my favourite Premier League ground from a manager's point of view. I thought it had everything really atmosphere-wise.
"So it was going to be good for me to go to the new stadium but I'm sure it will be ready for the new season!"
