The fateful discussion of Beitar Jerusalem today (Wednesday) not only deals with the future of the club, but also with that of dozens of its employees, who have also been living in austerity for a long time after the cuts and in a few days may even find themselves without a source of income.
“The court must understand that this is bigger than a celebratory Moshe,” said one of the workers. “We are talking about dozens of workers who also lost a lot of money this way, but still stayed and gave it their all. To see everything go down the drain now would be extremely cruel. This is the last chance.”
Owner Moshe Hogg will attend the hearing, and like him Beitar Jerusalem captain Ofir Kariaf is expected to attend, and will likely speak on behalf of the club’s players and employees. Trustee attorney Yitzhak Junger, CEO Muni Brosh and club spokesman Assaf Nahum will also be among those present at the hearing.
