Hapoel Ironi Tiberias Faces Financial Dispute Amidst Transfer Window
Hapoel Ironi Tiberias secured a home draw against Hapoel Jerusalem on Tuesday, scoring a last-minute equalizer. The team's performance, particularly the debut goal by Kייס גאנם, was praised for its determination, though coaches Alon Ziv and Moti Krispil noted defensive lapses and inaccuracy in set pieces, citing two easily conceded goals.
Several players, including defender Sambinha and midfielders David Keltz and Niv Gottlieb, have returned to training after serving suspensions related to a "transfer affair." The club is still aiming for new signings before the transfer window closes today, with Michael Ohana, a free agent, being a prominent target who can sign even after the window shuts.
Meanwhile, club officials, including Arieh Klemenson and Mickey Beitan, are engaged in legal efforts to release the association's funds. Beitan managed the team until recently alongside Klemenson. The ongoing tension between these former associates is palpable, with fans protesting against Beitan, demanding his departure and the release of the association's funds.
The club is seeking temporary solutions to maintain its operations and hopes to resolve this financial saga soon.
