Hi Everyone

I am currently managing a semi professional team in Iceland and was wondering if anyone knows how to become a professional club
 
Money (annual turnover) is the main thing. If your club grows financially so that it can sustain professional wages, running costs etc... then your board will just do it.
 
well im fine with wages as im only spending £3K a week on the whole squads wages, and im making around £50K profit a month, so hopefully i turn professional soon, you dont what the benefits of becoming professional are do you
 
Your players will train a lot more etc... and you'll be able to attract better players. I'm not sure, but I guess gate prices etc... might go up and maybe sponsorship (but don't quote me on that).

It might take a while for your board to make the move because they will look long term -- they'll expect all contracts to become professional and more expensive at some point so they won't make the leap until they are sure they can cover the cost.
 
Is the Iceland league professional? Are there any other teams in your league who are pro? If no then its unlikely your team will turn pro.

This is also true.
 
none others are professional, im just trying to offer them all full time contracts obviously if what you said is true then i am wasting my time
 
You can offer full time contracts even if you are semi pro. They can accept. Your budget is going to take a hammeing though
 
One time I managed to go professional is when the value of the club exceed 2-3 millions pound. So that is going to be a very long way before your club in Iceland could turn professional.
 
There are a couple of 'proper' professional clubs in Iceland, Kevflavik and Reykjavik are two. You need to be making enough profit to cover professional costs, such as wages, signing fees etc. My club in Uzbekistan became pro by appearing in the continental competitions regularly. Got to semi-final before getting knocked out by Al-Ahli before I got pro status.
