"Those who do not cut will not be able to stay," says a source in Betar Jerusalem, after the club chairman Eli Ohana's announcement yesterday of a horizontal cut of 25% of the players' salaries and the professional team.
This, in order to continue operating the team until the end of the season.
A small number of players may oppose the cuts in question, but Betar explains that without the cuts or the purchase of the club immediately, it will not be possible to pay the January salaries: "If the players do not cut there will be no money and then what will they do?" He added, "The situation is catastrophic, they should have said things two months ago."

Apart from the cuts in question, Betar also intends to release players. The first to pay the price were supposed to be Marco Yankovich and Edwin Gassy, but Markovich suffers from a hamstring injury, which will make it difficult to release him. Degani, Itamar Nitzan, Michael Ohana and Jordan Shua are on the shelf and may leave.
In the midst of all this mess, the team will today (Sunday) hold its concluding training ahead of Hapoel Tel Aviv.
Goalkeeper Itamar Nitzan, who has recovered from Corona, should be fit to play.
The wounded Tamir Adi will be absent.
