The new owner of Beitar Jerusalem, Barak Abramov, is now holding his first press conference since he took responsibility for the team, and refers to the financial situation and the future of the club.
The press conference is being held at the "Shalva Center" which is part of the Shlava NGO that takes care of thousands of people with disabilities from the age of 0 to high school, and works in full cooperation with Beitar Jerusalem.
The businessman opened his words: "It is important for me to clarify, I came to Beitar solely for love and in order to save her, there is nothing financial behind it.
This is the most complex transaction in the history of Israeli football, because it is the first time that parties unrelated to football have intervened in this matter.
Factors such as the police, a criminal court and many creditors who owe them a lot of money."

He continued: "Beitar was not sold from a buyer to an existing owner.
My negotiation was not with Moshe Hogge in the end, but with the Israel Police. It was not easy, but I do thank them that they came to their senses and decided that Beitar Jerusalem would pass into my hands, and I thank them for that."
"I want to speak to Beitar fans.
Anyone who is a fan of Beitar, Jerusalemite or not, who has a big business, who can afford to come and help and donate, should come. I gave Beitar my life, but the quality of life I don't know if I can give without the help of businessmen from Jerusalem .
God willing, I'm a well-to-do guy, but not at the level of Yankala Shachar, Mitch Goldhar and Alona Barkat."
