Does anybody know how much lask have spent on players this season or say the last 5 years.

Does it matter?

Lask or any other clubs transactions should not be used in any comparison. we are in the dark ages re recruitment scouting development. our board is run like a cross between steptoe and son and trotters independent traders.
lask won the double last year and there only ever previous top flight honours was a double 62 years ago so not exactly an Austrian powerhouse. its our own house that needs sorted. we need rid of the dinosaurs running our club.

They scored goals for fun and have a youth academy which is in partnership with Ajax. Majority of their team are Austrian and they have an Austrian coach who (outside of the Celtic Park demolition) has them seriously well drilled.
As per usual in Europe, the coaching staff badly underestimated the opposition and those in charge of recruitment left us with gaping holes in the team.
CCV back from injury and has no pace, Trusty recovering from a stomach bug shouldn't have been in the team, Tierney and Donovan tried but were out of position too often, Hatate and Tounekti didn't even try, Hogh needs time to bed in and I would have liked to see Duran played in the middle at half time with Hassan put on the right. Osmand would have done more than Tounekti.
Embarrassing night, but not unexpected. Watch the purse strings tighten now.
