FC Flora manager Pelle Pohlak said that the goodwill agreement was intended for the movement of players and staff between clubs. It was offered to Nõmme United by Aivar Pohlak as a mediator. Flora has not signed such agreements with other clubs.
Why did Flora want an agreement with Nõmme United? Because Nõmme United took Flora's young players to their side. This was against the rules of the football association. Flora wanted to appeal to the disciplinary committee. But Aivar Pohlak said, let's try to resolve the issue without the committee. He suggested making a goodwill agreement. This means that the clubs talk beforehand before exchanging players.
They also agreed on the movement of staff. This was because Nõmme United had said that Flora was taking their coaches. Aivar Pohlak was the mediator who helped the clubs reach an agreement. He did not represent any club but wanted a solution.
The text of the agreement was devised by Flora. Nõmme United had said that the coaches were leaving them. Flora wanted it to be done properly. The football association does not have separate rules regarding the movement of coaches.
Flora has a verbal agreement with Levadia. It has been in effect for over 20 years. It does not prohibit the movement of players but allows it to be done according to the rules. For example, this winter, one Flora player went to Levadia.
