Aaron Ramsey discusses Cardiff City relegation

Arsenal hero Aaron Ramsey has faced a nightmare scenario in his first stint as a manager as his Cardiff side were relegated from the Championship to League One.

The Welshman returned to the Bluebirds as a player but has been in interim charge of the squad for the final three games as they looked to survive at the bottom of the table.

Successive draws ensured that Cardiff met the drop, meaning they will be playing League One football next season.
