Bnei Sakhnin did not pass the budget control yesterday (Thursday) and will appeal this. The group has to prepare a budget by next Tuesday and is examining a number of options to get out of the economic falter after the announcement of the chairman Muhammad Abu Younes about his departure. The solution may come from an unexpected place in the form of Ahmed Dabah, one of the wealthiest businessmen in the sector who is examining the possibility of joining the group’s management.
Dabach held several meetings with the team’s management and may join the team that finished in sixth place last season and advanced to the top playoffs. He previously served as the CEO of Salah Dabach and Sons, which includes a chain of supermarkets. His family owns a slaughterhouse that supplies most of Israel’s fresh meat.
As a reminder, yesterday Bnei Sakhnin received a message from the budgetary control that after not meeting its requirements, it will play next season in the national league. Now the gap between the parties has been revealed, which is estimated at five million NIS bank guarantee that the control requires, a demand that Sakhnin cannot meet.
The chairman of the club for the past 12 years, Muhammad Abu Younes, is determined not to return to Sakhnin, despite the situation, which makes the task difficult to impossible.
