Squad24 Sep 2040

A fracture rules Kévin-Prince Milla out for 50 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Flora will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Boardroom24 Sep 2040

Pressure builds in the Flora boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Market24 Sep 2040

Silvio De Simone puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Flora, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market24 Sep 2040

Roland Fiola is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Flora is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad24 Sep 2040

Adam Soucek in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Flora this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad24 Sep 2040

No hiding place for Silvio De Simone

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Silvio De Simone, and the manager let it.

Market27 Feb 2040

Lucas Cohen puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Flora, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market27 Feb 2040

Only the photograph left for Edvard Bjerkaas

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Edvard Bjerkaas will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Flora the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad27 Feb 2040

Danil Kuraksin in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Flora this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad27 Feb 2040

Kévin-Prince Milla falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad27 Feb 2040

Danil Kuraksin has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Flora will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad27 Feb 2040

Edvard Bjerkaas knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Edvard Bjerkaas trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad5 Sep 2039

Rasul Guseinov breaks a bone — 67 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 67 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Boardroom5 Sep 2039

Flora put Hendrik Kruglov on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Market5 Sep 2039

Ivan Tsvetanov’s move to Narva Trans falls through

The deal that would have taken Ivan Tsvetanov to Narva Trans has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Flora with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Squad5 Sep 2039

Danil Kuraksin in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Flora this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad5 Sep 2039

Miha Žejen signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Miha Žejen and Flora agree another 2 years.

Kévin-Prince Milla falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Boardroom5 Sep 2039

The owner puts $462.7K into Flora

This is money that keeps the lights on rather than money that buys a centre-half, and the difference is the whole story. A club funded by its owner rather than by its football has exactly one conversation left ahead of it.

Boardroom5 Sep 2039

Flora are $31.7M in the red

The borrowing is past what the bank agreed, which is the line where a debt stops being how football is financed and starts being a problem. Every phone-in in this town will quote the figure for the next five years.

Boardroom5 Sep 2039

Flora sign a deal worth $108.7K a year

Commercial news is the news nobody sings about and everything else is paid for with. The board will call it a partnership; the accountants will call it the difference between this squad and a smaller one.

Rasul Guseinov breaks a bone — 83 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 83 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market22 Aug 2039

Stephan Schröder hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Flora can pretend not to have heard.

Squad22 Aug 2039

Ivan Tsvetanov: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Flora have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market22 Aug 2039

Taijo Kallaste is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Flora is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
