Betar Jerusalem’s million deal on the verge of explosion? It was reported in Sha’ar Hashabbat that Sheikh Hemed Ben Khalifa has taken a step back and will not transfer the documents required for the transfer of ownership. Following the publication, Betar’s owners, Moshe Hogg, claimed on the broadcast that things were not true and presented a solution if the sheikh did not obtain the certificate of integrity.
“This is not true. The noise does us no good, we try not to react and let things end so we can concentrate on football. The situation is not good. The deal will not go through without a certificate of integrity or legal opinion in the Emirates,” he clarified. celebrant.
“If there is no certificate of integrity, we may offer him to do something similar to what Goma Aguiar did. He will not be the owner, but a sponsor. We are not there yet, give lawyers a week or two to do the work. We try to do it quietly.”
Hogg also referred to the process of issuing the certificate: “Here in Israel anyone can enter a police station and every policeman will see the history and issue a certificate of integrity. In the UAE the information about citizens is the same, except for royalty, the information about them is confidential. That a police officer at the police station does not have access to the person’s details. “
In addition, Hogg recounted the sheikhs’ hard feelings: “This man suffered tremendous fire from Arab countries against us – Qatar and Turkey – trampled on investment and attacked him from all directions in the Arab world. He expected at least in Israel he would get a hug, but he got twice as much, “He got a crazy fire. Today both his family and his partners tell him what you did. In the meantime, he is strong and steadfast in making the deal, but he certainly did not expect it.”
“I was a sponsor for a few years, and I only got respect. Once you buy a team and spend tens of millions and are exposed to such attacks, it’s not easy. He came to donate money, Betar is not a profitable business, so why all this negativity against him?”
On his intentions to continue at Betar, the owner said: “I have never looked for Betar partners and received several offers. As for the future, this deal seemed right to me because someone came along who was supposed to be stronger than me. I will continue at Betar Jerusalem for more a lot of years”.
“This deal is a signed deal, if it does not materialize for one reason or another – it is a legal problem,” Hogg stated, “The sheikh has already transferred some of the money to me as a serious fee and I transferred to Betar, because it is still technically impossible to transfer from bank to emirates.” Israeli”.
Hogg later criticized the Football Association: “Every document the sheikh provided them was leaked to the media within a minute. It’s a big shame. He has a lot of complaints about it, it can not happen. More than one or two people have an interest in overthrowing the deal. The association’s interest, on His face is that the deal will take place – but documents are leaking sharply from there. “
“I spoke with the sheikh for the last time on Wednesday and with his CEO yesterday,” Hogg continued, “despite the corona I am exploring the possibility of flying to them next week for Dubai.”
