Janus... And transition

Just read that mfw piece from yesterday and my god is it rubbish.

Also, the writer does not appear to know anything about Greek or roman mythology as that is not at all what Janus represented (he does not represent a household god capable of good and evil).

Janus was often used to ward off evil and generally represented the god of transition.

The football commentary in the piece was similarly ill informed.

I find the line of argument that we should change owners because we have to buy players and then sell them for more money to operate tedious. Virtually every team outside the top handful need to work in this way. We have enough money to buy promising players, we're not limited to freebies. Cardiff, for example, with a very rich owner, gave warnock almost no money cos the previous managers wasted so much.

The suggestion that we should piss money up against a wall on expensive players is somewhat undermined by the list of expensive players we're struggling to move on.

I'm not that optimistic about next year, but I don't think new owners are the panacea.
