The war between Hapoel Tel Aviv’s management and its fans is not new, but yesterday (Saturday) it reached new heights: a handful of fans of the table lock came to Sharon Nisnov’s house in Savyon and smashed the windows by throwing stones. A day later, Zeev Greenberg, from Hapoel Tel Aviv. A, addressed the ugly incident, the precarious economic situation, the danger of relegation, the status of Nir Klinger and many other issues in an interview with “Five in the Air”.
The owner commented on his team’s struggle to stay: “We have young players who have received concrete offers worth millions of euros. These are the future assets of Hapoel Tel Aviv. Raz Shlomo? A player who has played in all the teams, is one of the 8 players that we have a concrete offer for. We had an offer worth millions of euros for Raz Shlomo. “
“There will be a revolution in January, that much is clear,” Greenberg added. “I believe that in this squad we can stay in the league. Am I happy with Nir Klinger? Absolutely not. A lot of mistakes were made. Every player who came Klinger and Moshe Sinai confirmed. Some they wanted and some they just confirmed. Because I have been in football for 4 years and have seen One or the other I did not like, this time, unlike previous years, I personally took Nir and Moshe to a team meeting before the start of the season. For the first time in the history of Hapoel Tel Aviv I opened everything – numbers, who are candidates and who is not – we prepared for next season, they were involved In everything. It is true that some of the players who came were recommended by the owners, but they confirmed it. “
“Omar Brown came here in complete opposition to my personal opinion. There was even a quarrel about it,” Greenberg said, “Armando Cooper came in complete opposition in my opinion, he himself brought Omar Brown.”
Even before that, Greenberg referred to an incident from last night: “I think the throwing of stones at Nisnov’s house is very serious. We came with love to save Hapoel Tel Aviv and it is a pity that it slips into such places.”
And what about the debts? Greenberg replied: “In a month we will be smarter about the magnitude of the debts, after the UEFA decision. Hapoel Tel Aviv is in a constant search for owners. I think that this brand still has value and that we can recoup the investment in the group. Pimp? I have no idea who this man is. “Eli Tabib? I do not know him personally, but if you read the auditor’s report on the liquidation – I’m not sure he deserves to be the owner.”
Greenberg later commented on the incident in which Nisnov left the stadium during the Tel Aviv derby: “I stayed until the end and I had a hard time. I do not think it fits, but I understand where it came from. It’s emotions, they had a hard time containing it and they were in tears. “It was a wrong act, but it happened and there is no way to change it.”
Greenberg was asked about the sums that the owners invested in the Nisnov era: “There is an order of magnitude of investment of NIS 16 million invested by the owners at Hapoel Tel Aviv. From the deal. “
At the end, Greenberg set the conditions for the sale of Hapoel Tel Aviv: “There are two options to buy Hapoel Tel Aviv. One, whoever comes will take all the rights and obligations of Hapoel Tel Aviv. The second possibility is that we will give up the debts to us, but we want the rights to the assets of Hapoel Tel Aviv today. We have no problem giving the team for free, but in exchange for the proven assets. These are the options. “
