Chairman Arcadi Gaydamak decided to bring two Muslim-Russian players Zaur Sadayev and Dzhabrail Kadiyev from Terek Grozny FC. This proved controversial with many Beitar fans, and the new signings were subject to verbal abuse from the stands. The hardcore right-wing fan group "La familia" were behind much of this, and organised a boycott for part of the season.

The two Chechen players signed with Beitar near the top of the table. Their arrival triggered a losing run which eventually left Beitar at the bottom of the table, narrowly avoiding relegation.
