The club is going through the most difficult time in their long history. This season their relegation from the Premier league was confirmed in early April. Their debt his risen to £138,000 million and still is increasing. Even some members of their small squad have been playing without wages.

Now, at least and at last, the fans have something to cheer about. Saturday 15th May, they play in the FA Cup Final V Chelsea at Wembley.

Yesterday, defender Tal Ben Haim hit out at the owners and accused them of deceiving the club's supporters and players.

"I am sure the financial situation affected the players and if it had been handled correctly we would be staying in this league," he said. "At least we have a fantastic thing to look forward to, the FA Cup final which is the biggest game of the season for us, " he added.

Players and supporters also have another concern. Manager Avram Grant is likely to leave the club in the summer. It has been he who has enabled the team to keep performing well, despite the pressures off the field.
