The club knows that "a revolution is needed," but that the wages of the Netanya connection constitute an obstacle, and the Sakhnin connection has no intention of paying a transfer fee.

1. Fan protests, issues with players and discipline matters. Hapoel Tel Aviv has been in turmoil since the humiliation against Maccabi Netanya, which reminded many of the derby quarterback during the relegation season. In this chaos, the professional team is trying to focus on two main things: strengthening the players' confidence up to the Cup game against Katamon, and seeking strengthening players in January.

"Israel Today" has learned that the Reds' intentions are Atta Jaber of Bnei Sakhnin and Nico Olsk, who is not in Maccabi Netanya's plans. The former does not intend to pay a transfer fee, and the second has already been explored, but his high salary is no small obstacle. "If Netanya participates with us in Olsk's salary, it could happen," Bhojdorov said, but it is too early to assess whether the diamonds will agree to the move, and they may also require a player in return, such as Motti Bershecki.

Apart from the back contact position, Hapoel wants to be a striker, a winger, and a playmaker. Since the domestic market is not saturated with quality players in the positions in question, at this point, the focus is on the search for free strangers or those who come on loan. "We need to bring in a minimum of four players," Hapoel argued. "The owners must understand that we are shortlisted for a league, and that a revolution is needed. We are among the three weaker teams in the league."

2. The roster revolution was already underway yesterday when Damba Kamara's agent received a message that the pioneer may seek a new group rather than programs as first published in Israel Today. Kairma and Stefan Spirovsky, who will face a disciplinary committee tomorrow because of the incident in the match against Maccabi Netanya, are also on the way out, and it is unclear at this stage whether they will continue to dress in the upcoming games or not.

3. And if all this is not enough, Hapoel fears a new saga against Omar Damari, which is not included in the roster against Netanya. Group officials say the reason was Klinger's dissatisfaction with the striker's training during the week.

At the previous coach, Avitan tried, Damari went through an education series and found himself out of the roster a few weeks in a row. Hapoel hopes the case will not be repeated, for fear of further resentment in the locker room, which is also why the club believes that "Damari has room on the roster before half a team."
