Betar is considering going to court in an attempt to remove the bail requirement from Abramov

The police announcement that Barak Abramov will have to provide guarantees in the amount of NIS 11 million stalls the deal to transfer Beitar Jerusalem, but Hogge will try to change the situation. Today's critical discussion: If the association grants another extension for the preparation of a budget, the possibility of transferring management rights will be examined

Beitar Jerusalem will appeal today (Monday) at the Supreme Court of the Football Association without having reached a purchase agreement or with sufficiently convincing reasons to receive an extension for the transfer of the budget. Despite this, the trustee Yitzhak Junger will be based on the precedents of the past in which teams also transferred budgets in the month of August, hopefully to receive at least one more week to find solutions.

Yesterday it seemed that the long-awaited solution was getting closer, when the negotiations for the transfer of Bnei Yehuda to the Moshe Damayo group progressed.

Although gaps of approximately 2 million shekels remained after the talks, the real problem was that during the meeting Abramov was informed that the police demanded that he provide guarantees totaling 11 million shekels, which puts the whole deal for the purchase of Betar in a different situation for him.

It seems stuck again.

With this demand, the police want to ensure that funds that are supposed to go to Moshe Hogge or the Singularit company will indeed go to the confiscation fund and not to the owners in one way or another.

The police express complete distrust in the party-goer and his moves, which is the reason for the unusual demand.

Hogge's lawyers are supposed to contact the police and probably the court as well in the hope that they will remove the request, but it will not be easy at all.

At this stage, this is a demand that blocks any progress in the transaction, because Abramov will have to cover Beitar's large debts anyway, and is not interested in additional expenses.

The parties will wait for a decision between the Supreme Court today and proceed from there. If Beitar gets an extension (through the Association's Supreme Court or later through a civil court), the option of transferring management rights will also be examined in order to avoid relegation to League A.

But again - any such solution seems quite complicated and to engineer it will require at least a week.

It is doubtful whether this time is at Beitar's disposal.
