Hapoel Hadera has been going through a great period in the last month in which it has not lost in its last five games and has even recorded three consecutive victories, twice in the league and once again in the eighth finals of the State Cup against Bnei Sakhnin.
In the league, the team from Sharon is in seventh place in the table, with MS Ashdod and Hapoel Haifa ahead of it only thanks to a better goal ratio.
Now, in a press release issued by the team's chairman, Oren Golan, he clarified that he and the club's captains met with the players in order to cut their bonuses by chance and advance to the top playoffs at the end of the second round.
"Hapoel Hadera has always been and will always remain a competitive club!", Golan began.
"There is no one in our club who does not dream that we will reach the top playoffs again and play in the crucial stages of the season against full pitches and against the biggest teams of Israeli football. Following the recent victories, a situation has arisen that we can definitely be there, This, me and my management have a responsibility! We see what is happening around us, with a luxury club like Betar Jerusalem, and do not want to be in a similar situation. Everyone knows that this year we are going through financial difficulties and we did not want to find ourselves helpless in front of the players and in front of the club employees. So we sat down with the players yesterday and today, and explained the situation to them. Fortunately, they also mobilized for the benefit of the club's goal and agreed to cut the bonuses of qualifying for the playoffs. I or anyone else in the club never had the intention to give up the dream! If our desire to be a responsible management was interpreted as a lack of sportiness this would certainly not have been the intention!
In conclusion, let it be clear to everyone.
We have more goals left until the end of the season!
We will try our best to reach the top playoffs and get the farthest in the state cup.
In order for us to do that, we also need the fans with us!
To this day for 5 years we provide you dear fans countless moments of happiness and pride.
We will continue to do so, but our expectation is two-sided.
We want you to give us back and fill the stands!
It will both help the club financially and also help the players who will feel your support on the pitch!
Edom comes up and we all meet on the field! "
