Hapoel Ironi Tiberias is set to finalize a plea deal with the Football Association on Monday morning regarding the "transfer case." The team will have three points deducted, a move that evokes mixed emotions. While club officials are relieved the saga is ending, the point deduction will return the team to a negative standing, potentially minus one point if they don't win their upcoming match against Netanya. This situation is described as "very heavy" given the team's current standing and will make their fight for survival in the Premier League significantly harder.
The club lauded its legal team, led by lawyers Zion Amir and Eyal Yaffe, for their intensive efforts in reaching an agreement with the Football Association's legal department. Initially, the association had pushed for a double-digit point deduction, but this demand softened as negotiations progressed, though a deduction remained part of the final agreement.
One player expressed the team's sentiment, stating, "Punishment is punishment. We will certainly try to believe we can survive in the league and get out of the negative again, but we are still in dire straits." The team hopes to overcome the setback and avoid relegation.
Separately, developments are expected Monday in the "Mirror Image" case. Arieh Kalmanzon, Miki Beitan, Eliran Hodada, and Yael Bar are scheduled for a remand extension hearing at the Rishon LeZion Magistrate's Court. The expectation is that they will be released to house arrest. Following the police investigation's conclusion, the prosecution will decide whether to file indictments and against whom.
