This is for your benefit: Moshe Hogg is the only one who can save Betar Jerusalem

Just before the final collapse, the owner could find a common interest with the club: a relegation scenario would hurt him, increase his financial loss and also wipe out the little trust he still had left.

Now it's clear what he needs to do - unless he's driven by revenge.

The

timing of Ofir Krieff's Instagram post, which yesterday called for Betar Jerusalem fans to come en masse for the game against Hapoel Tel Aviv Teddy, was far from coincidental. And see how the headlines about the abyss into which the club is heading permeate the fans.

Not that Betar players are particularly optimistic.

They, too, are already at a loss, and in recent days have repeatedly talked to lawyers and agents to understand how they should act.

Yesterday the club initiated a general conversation with the players about what might happen if no money is poured in, but at least until Tuesday in Betar no practical steps will be taken. That his agent had already been informed a few weeks ago that he should look for a team for him.

Betar is waiting to see if Stefan Malul will transfer the $ 1 million seriousness fee, but even the little optimism that has already faded. One - relegation. The American buyers? They dropped out of the story in the previous round, after celebrating he was not willing to commit to future lawsuits. Betar is trying to get the Americans back in the picture, but in any case they will not transfer money in the current window The expected.

So what hope is left anyway? Perhaps precisely because Moshe is celebrating. Although the celebrant has no interest in finishing his term at the club well and leaving him in the Premier League, at the business level the interests may meet. Celebrating demands $ 4 million for Betar and believes he will receive such a reward, but knows that if the team is on its way to the national, he will not receive even one shekel.

In such a situation, he will look for solutions on how to raise NIS 3-4 million to stabilize the team by the end of the season.

He can enlist the help of Jackie Ben Zaken who helped bail him out on house arrest;

He can sell or encumber the rights to Shua and Zargari to another group;

And there are quite a few more solutions that will leave the team with a worthy staff that will keep it in the Premier League.

As long as Celebrate continues to own the team, his business interest will be to keep it in the league.

On the other hand he can also raise his hands, but then it will already be out of net revenge, which is something no one will be able to stop.

Following his recent complications, "Burned" celebrates the Israeli public as a person and as a businessman.

An optimistic ending to his story in Betar, may leave him some bright spot for the rest of the way. Unless he is driven out of revenge.

The keys are in your hands.

The extreme situation has already led to a resurgence among many fans, some of whom even wanted to launch a crowdfunding campaign that would save the team.

Either way, it is doubtful if this is the solution, especially in light of the fact that celebrating does not release the group and in such a situation it will in any case come to disintegration.

There is a catch here, but the club is also wrong in not trying to recruit the crowd.

Fan recruitment does not have to come in the form of donations.

There are creative ways to appeal to the hearts of the crowd and make him confident that the money he donates will help save the club, or at least help him stand on his own two feet by the end of the season.

It is unpleasant, even embarrassing, but in a war for survival one must not waste means.

It should be remembered that Betar Jerusalem has not been in the fight for titles for 12 years. A relegation, perhaps even with minus 9 points next year, may mark the beginning of the end of Betar Jerusalem as a big club.

In a war for survival all means are kosher.

And there is also a game tomorrow.

Only after the concluding training session today will Yossi Mizrahi understand who is available to him: As of yesterday's training, Uriel Degani is fit and should start as a stopper alongside David Hoja, with Ofir Krieff opening the link.

Richmond Boachi is due to land today, will be tested and if negative will be included in the squad.

Max Grechkin will also train after recovering from Corona, but it is unclear if he will dress.

Hapoel Tel Aviv fans snatch the tickets for the game and close to 3,500 Reds have already secured a place in Teddy.

Betar knows that the problematic situation the club is in only produces motivation in the opponent. "Everything that happens to us only gives them a push, they smell blood and in battles between these clubs there is a desire to devour and crush in such situations," Both the players and the fans should put everything aside and try to maintain the respect we have left.
