One of the fateful days of Betar Jerusalem will come tomorrow (Sunday), when in the afternoon there will be a conversation between the chairman of the budget control, Sigalit Sage, and the trustee of Betar Jerusalem, Yitzhak Jung. Sage, who so far has approached Betar as part of what the department allows, demands to see data that can move Betar under control.
If the team from the capital does not move, the chairman of the control will issue two letters. One to Maccabi Petah Tikva, in order to prepare to stay in the Premier League and be ready with a suitable budget. Past cases show that this is not the end of a verse. According to the regulations of the Budget Control Authority, Betar, like other groups in the past, can apply for an appeal against the decision to the plenum of the authority or to the court of the association.
Those past cases prove that the request for appeal will be granted and the club will be given an extension of one week to ten more days to raise a budget. Remember the case of Hapoel Ixl, who was the last to receive a letter from the control of the relegation, received a right of appeal but was unable to set a budget and was relegated to the first division.
At the checkout, they were surprised to hear over the weekend that Betar had been concentrating on purchase offers for Minhan in recent days, instead of first dealing in writing and with a legal obligation. The deficit in terms of control is about NIS 60 million.
According to the regulations, the budget submitted annually for control includes, among other things, one third of the cumulative deficit. At the moment it is about 20 million, an amount that Betar will not be able to raise, but if Celebrate waives the debts to him and his companies, the amount will be about 8 million shekels, which is an amount that Betar can bring, certainly if the audience buys subscriptions.
