Default Inquiry: How do you turn your club professional?

For those who start their managing careers with a semi-professional team...

What steps do you take to encourage your board to make the jump to professional status?

I've tried with over 30 different teams and still haven't found the right strategy to make my team a professional one.

Out of interest, could you have a semi-pro team in League 2 or would the game automatically make the side professional upon promotion?

Of course, it's unlikely you'd do very well if you were a semi-professional team in the professional leagues but could it happen in theory?

My finances are not good, so I don't think its that either.

Surely if you sign up all your players and staff to f/t contracts then you would become pro?
