Hapoel quake in HQ, owner Alona Barkat announced on Sunday that she is leaving the club due to the team's refusal to cut their wages.
In the first phase, Barkat will move the club to loyalty by Attorney Yitzhak Younger and then be able to reach another buyer to replace it. The club president, who has historically won him three consecutive championships and a performance in the European League home stage, commented: "It's a sad day For me. I did my best to formulate an agreed emergency plan to save the club, but the players' unwillingness to join the program leaves me no other option. I sincerely thank the club, fans, coaches and players for a wonderful 14 years and wish the club success down the road. "
At this point, Barkat will meet all its financial obligations until the end of the current season. Then, the club will move to the format in which it will only operate according to revenue. In this situation, quite a few players will be released from the roster. Barkat offered the players a cut for this season but also for the next season.
The players, as mentioned, refused to cut back and also contacted a lawyer to manage the issue in front of the club. Barkat was very hurt by the move and over the weekend made a decision to move the club to loyalty. It is still unclear whether Barkat's decision is final, or whether a change in the players' attitude will change the plans. Anyway, the fact that this is an official announcement from the owner has dropped the stable ground in the southern club.
