In light of recent reports and rumors regarding the team roster, Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv announce the following:
1. Coach Spahija wishes to clarify he never asked the club’s management to part ways with anyone of the players.
2. Regarding reinforcing the roster: all the factors that were taken into consideration were strictly professional including the potential implications on the team’s texture as well as the playing time. In addition reinforcing the roster would have forced the club to rest three foreign players in the Israeli domestic league, but above all the main reason for not adding another player to the roster is the fact that the coaching staff has complete faith in the roster that won big games while showing great ability. The club’s budget was never brought up nor was it discussed.
