After Shlomi Harush, another player sues Hapoel Holon: Amit Simhon, who played for the team in 2018/19, filed a lawsuit today (Thursday) in the Tel Aviv Regional Labor Court against Hapoel Holon for NIS 891,163 for severance pay, compensation for unlawful dismissal , Compensation for breach of agreement for a group period and pension provisions.
Simhon, who signed with the team in the summer of 2018, held an agreement with the Purples until the end of the current season. As part of the agreement, he was loaned to Hapoel Beer Sheva – and she is the one who paid him for the months he played in its ranks. However, according to another part of the agreement, Holon undertook to pay Simhon three months in July to September for a total of NIS 172,494 net, which were not paid.
In the lawsuit, Simhon noted that even before the start of the 2019/2020 basketball season, the club’s chairman, Shlomo Isaac, summoned his father to a meeting during which he asked him that the player agree to reduce his “high” salary. The player rejected this request outright, emphasizing that the parties An agreement is binding and that there is no basis for the request.
The lawsuit further states that since the player was an economic burden on the club’s shoulders, after Sharon Drucker was fired, the club’s management began to clearly signal to him that he was not wanted. “This conduct of the defendants severely affected the plaintiff, both personally and professionally and financially. Moreover, ‘drying’ it on the group bench even harmed its market value.”
Eitan Lanciano, chairman of Hapoel Holon, implicitly criticized the Israeli player’s conduct in a post he wrote on Twitter: “Why not an Israeli player? Because very few players appreciate. It causes a rethink for any sane person interested in investing in this industry, the festivities are over. It’s pigs and disrespect to the hand that feeds, but we passed Pharaoh and we will pass that too. “
Why not an Israeli actor? … this is why because very few appreciative players and real men now become a national sport which causes a rethink for any sane person who is interested in investing in this industry, the celebrations are over !! Pigs and disrespect to the hand that feeds 🤮We passed Pharaoh we will pass this too of course it is continuous 🤥🤥
