Transfer Budget Issue?

I started a save with Chelsea earlier on today and came across an issue.

When looking through the player search section I noticed that I had a £30,000,000 budget but when approaching a club for a player it said I had £0 available?

Anyway, I spoke with the board and asked for some funds but Roman Abramovich said I couldn't be trusted with a transfer budget?!?!

It may just be a quirk with Chelsea and Roman but it seems a pretty silly one.

Has anyone else had a similar issue with any other clubs?

I had exactly the same trouble with Sunderland, is it a bug ?

You will have the same trouble with basically any club. I chose Borussia Dortmund. They've given me 2.5 mil for transfers. Still can't use a penny. I wonder why.

When I started the game I had the first transfer window budget 'unticked'...

My save with Chelsea, i set the director of football to take care of offers and for me to finalise them. they gave me 30 million and managed to spend most of it, so doesnt seem to be a prob with my Chelsea budget

I never had trouble and could edit my budget how I wanted with my L2 team. Maybe the chairman really doesnt want you to have control of it? I mean isn't that what some chairmen are like?
