This is your actual comment within this thread - "The team Slade assembled were always going to come good". This was with reference the Charlton team.

Just to make sure I'm not mistaken here, you have said that

a) Slade assembled the Charlton team
b) suggested that the team was going to come good, so by default
c) future results will be down (to a large extent, give or take the input from the new manager) to Slade's work in assembling the team.

So, take that entire logical process and apply it to Cardiff. At the start of the season:

a) The side had mainly the same personnel as the season before and was a result of 18 months in charge by Russell Slade.
b) Was either going to improve, stay at a similar level or get worse.
c) Future results were going to be down (to a large extent, give or take the input from the new manager) to Slade's work in assembling the team.

This is all your comment. I've not twisted your words, put words in your mouth, nothing at all. If you say there is a different set of circumstances, then you're actually undermining your own argument.
