After the approval of the proper manager was denied from Maccabi Bnei Raina by the registrar of associations, the new entrant in the Premier League is very optimistic that the approval will be received this week and the team that will make its debut in the Premier League this season will pass the inspection.
The chairman of the club, Said Basoul, was interviewed by 103FM this evening (Tuesday) and explained the situation: “We are very optimistic, I was at the registry of associations, I sat with them and gave them all the material they requested. Now we will see what they will say, waiting for their answers and they have their times. True, it’s stressful, but I’m sure we didn’t do anything illegal. I’m sure we’ll get our approval back.”
“We can pass the inspection,” Basol continued, “I have to show them that I can pay without receiving money. Currently, all our income from the director is NIS 6 million, including the toto and including everything. They leave the bonuses until the end of the season, and then they will calculate how much Every team deserves it. The Premier League is divided into two levels – the big and the small teams. All the small teams are equal to each other, they get 6.3 million shekels and that’s what the control knows, at the end of the season they do a calculation.”
“The budget? I have approval for 12 million shekels, for the whole club. A million or so goes to the youth department, security costs me almost 700 thousand shekels and a field costs me half a million. As of today we have sold 350 subscriptions, we are in the warm-up stages, the games will start and people will come. I I will be happy if we reach a thousand subscribers. All revenue from subscriptions and ticket sales is NIS 821,000. Currently, I have well-known sponsors, I have donations, and we will take care of the rest of the money. I am not worried about proper management, I know what is written in the letter. The entire letter from the Registrar of Associations It’s a communication gap between the accountant, the association and the registrar of associations.”
Regarding the professional manager Yaron Hochenbaum and the coach Adham Hadiya, Basul said: “They need to bring results, if they don’t? Or replace the coaches, or the field or the players, there are no other alternatives. I don’t come to measure the coach, the team and the players in one game or two”.
“With the burden I put on myself, I will not allow myself to be relegated,” said the chairman: “I want a team that will remain respectable in the league and be worthy. On paper, the worst teams are the teams that have recently been promoted, us and Ness Ziona section. It is difficult for us to bring in Israeli players, it is not easy, but we will find the solutions. Hope we can field a good team. Let’s hope that we don’t have to bring too much and that this technical matter will be resolved in the coming days, we will prove to everyone that we are doing well.”
