Betar Jerusalem fans in front of the home of the chairman of the budget control, CPA Sigalit Sage (private)

Betar Jerusalem is boiling over the accusations leveled at the Football Association and the budget control, which allegedly contributed to the worsening situation at the club. Yesterday (Thursday) Betar fans came to Oren Hasson's house and clarified that in the next two weeks they will criticize anyone In their opinion, "brought Betar to the

brink

of an abyss." It seems that things have reached a boiling point that requires an immediate solution.

Very clear.

On the other hand, the chairman of the control was severely criticized by senior members of the association, who said: "What is happening now is a result of the control's cooperation with Hogg and Junger in January.

"Even then, Betar had to go down or go into liquidation and be with minus 12, but they helped it carry out the angular actions and a recovery plan that almost doubled its debts."

In fact, the control prepared a survival plan for Betar in January, Betar was indeed obliged to dismantle in those days and minus 12 points.

The control program had so many cracks, both on the part of the control and parts of the deal that Celebrate did not fulfill, when the desire to get Betar to end the season, also out of fear in front of the toto and the broadcast franchisee, created a mess that continues to this day.

More on Walla!

How did the debts increase?

simple.

As part of the plan, NIS 3.5 million was transferred by Hogg's' lawyer and there was a commitment from him for another NIS 4 million, which did not arrive.

An order was issued for this NIS 4 million at the last minute, a few days before the end of the transfer window, in which it was decided to fire Marco Jankovic and Edwin Jesse.

If Linkovich had been informed a month earlier he would have found a group.

In fact, he even wanted to break free.

Instead of this happening, it came to a lawsuit and FIFA ruled on compensation in the amount of NIS 2 million. Jesse himself is suing Betar for both salary and professional damage close to NIS 2 million.

In addition, 25% was cut to players and it became a debt of 2 million more.

So celebrating did not transfer 4 million, but we reached new debts of 10 million shekels.

But it does not end there.

Michael Ohana claims that he owes hundreds of thousands of shekels that were not transferred to.

As part of the Betarla recovery program, it paid NIS 600,000 to Antoine Conte and is embroiled in further sanctions. Crazy financial under the auspices of budget control.

And there is more: Betar is appealing the ruling regarding Linkovich to the CAS but if the petition is rejected, the club will have a difficult problem because unlike the Antoine Conte case, the Montenegrin lawyers asked for sanctions for payment and if within 30 days If the amount is not paid, the club may suffer a reduction of 6 points and after another 60 days also a relegation.

He has a part.

And what's going on inside the club?

The workers are at a loss and waiting for the word of mouth from Moshe Hogg and the lawyer on his behalf, Yitzhak Junger.

Some even say they would have been happy to join the protests if they could.

After Betar asked Uriel Degani and Itamar Nitzan to look for a team in the hope of saving their salaries in the amount of more than NIS 2.5 million gross, other players asked for release and were denied

. Junger claimed to the club's members that a budget of NIS 18-20 million could be approved for the control, which would include NIS 12 million from revenues from broadcasting rights, tutu and administration. This will be joined by grants from the municipality, signage, advertising, small sponsors, income from the youth department and merchandise and will complete a budget of close to NIS 20 million that will be approved by the control.

If such a thing is approved, Betar is talking about a player salary of NIS 7 million, an administrative budget of NIS 5 million and another NIS 8 million that will go to debts in the arrangement. In total, this is a budget

of about NIS 20 million.

And Yitzhak Junger made sense, the fact that the issue was flooded and many influential factors demand answers inside and outside the association, creates a situation that will make it difficult to cooperate with Betar owners once again.

It seems that if no significant funds enter Betar in the next two weeks or a buyer is found, despite its reluctance, budget control will take control of the group and seek liquidation.
