Summary: Betar Jerusalem - Maccabi Petah Tikva 2: 2 (Sport 1)

Eli Ohana admits: The uncertainty in Betar Jerusalem is very disturbing. The club's chairman was interviewed by Radio Jerusalem today (Friday) and told about the difficulties in planning the next season - including doubts about his own future.

"Throughout history Betar has always been on a roller coaster.

It is true that now uncertainty exists and no one really knows what will happen, the only one who perhaps knows is Moshe celebrating.

There are negotiations, such and such proposals, but I do not know of anything concrete, we will have to wait a few weeks for things to be clearer. "

Ohana knows that" players who have a contract will wait to hear from Betar what happens next, those who do not have contracts will check "Their options, we will have to give them answers as soon as we want them. It depends, the situation is not ideal. I read today in the newspaper that Anglidis and Yitzhaki are abroad and preparing for next season and that's how it should be, we are not close to this situation."

According to Ohana, "Moshe Hughes has completely disconnected, I have not spoken to him for several months, he is not involved in anything or in contact with the club members, he has made a decision to disengage and find a buyer. Secret debts that I talk about I do not know them. We are very transparent in the management of our books, Haim Navon and the accounting firm that approves the reports show everything, there is a deficit of several tens of millions of shekels but it is not 60 or 80 and numbers are thrown into the air.

Still, the debts are big and we hope that a solution will be found to this matter, it is a big and important club that needs to start and function.

Betar went through upheavals, also came to dismantling and always stabilized. The most important thing right now is to find a buyer in the near future who will get into the shoes of a celebrant and start preparing plans for next season.

As mentioned, Ohana's future is also unclear.

"In the near future I will know if I continue or not. I can take care of the things I control and decide on, I end a contract like any official and those who come to manage the operation called Betar Jerusalem will make the decisions, also about me.

I think it will take place in the coming weeks and we will know here or here, but the stability and future of Betar Jerusalem is much more important than me.

On the possibility that Eli Tabib will return, Ohana said: "Everyone reads like me that his name always comes up, I do not want to say things because if I say something it could be reversed in two weeks. I repeat, I am not a man in the line, I do not know what will happen as no One does not know at the moment. "Under certain conditions. We are currently waiting for a serious person or a serious body to provide a solution."

Ohana summed up the team's season: "If there is one thing a club or athlete wants it is stability and this season no one felt it. As early as October we started messing around in January, players wanted to leave because they feared for their financial future. The matter, we made sure that most of the salaries would be paid by the end of the year. There is also gratitude, that a solution came to end the season.

"Professionally, we did not succeed throughout most of the season and then a deterioration began, and then Yossi Mizrahi, who deserves the Israel Prize for his support in any situation to Betar Jerusalem, even when he really, really did not want the job.

And then Yossi Aboksis came and made a change.

There is a sigh of relief, on the one hand a kind of failure because we did not meet the expectations of this season, but on the other hand in the situation we were able to solidify the team and especially Yossi Aboksis, who should say it very clearly - until I arrived I thought he was a very good coach. Excellent.

His knowledge, his sharpness, his professionalism, his way, he has the whole package.

We managed to stabilize, to accumulate a series of consecutive victories in the lower playoffs and we closed the story, it's a sigh of relief. "

On the future of Aboksis, he said: "Yossi should stay in Betar, period.

But you can not talk to him for next season, neither about salary nor players and budget he will have, no one in the club has answers for Yossi until there is someone who says he gets into the shoes of a celebrant and takes responsibility for the club.

I can not speak on Yossi's behalf, but I suppose he will do everything and give time to Betar, also for him. He said honestly and fairly, as he helped Betar she also helped him, and this combination is very suitable for both parties.

How long will he wait?

You have to ask him. "
