Negative Transfer Budget

Is it possible it could be loyalty bonuses and agent fees for renewing player contracts after the budget came out?

Would you be able to provide your save file, I appreciate it's been a few weeks but we'd need that in order to investigate further. 

@Kyle Brown it has happened again a season later anyway so I have uploaded the file. It is called 'Gary James - Negative Transfer Budget

Thank you for the save file, we'll put this under review. 

I have uploaded 2 new files which should help your analysis. @Kyle Brown @Zachary Whyte

''Gary James - Negative Transfer Budget - v2' - This file shows on 19th May I have £764 in my transfer budget.

''Gary James - Negative Transfer Budget - v3' - This file shows that on 20th May 2029 the date I get my new scouting budget I have - £584,035 in my transfer budget. I have not selected a scouting package either so this is not a factor.

Is there any updates on what could be causing this? I like a challenge but I am having to sell a star player before I can sign anybody each year and I also miss out on all the good free transfer opportunities.

Started a new save and it has happened at the end of the first season again.

I had just over £2k transfer budget and used to my wage budget to buy a player so it went up to £5.72k.
New scouting  budget day and I have -£49.9k

@Kyle Brown@Zachary Whyte what is causing this? There is no point playing the game as it stands as I am constantly set back for no reason.

I have worked the issue out.

So when my scouting department is running out of scouting budget they are continuing to scout causing a negative balance on scouting budget.

Then on new budget day that negative scouting budget is being taken away from my transfer budget.

At the same time I am being awared my new scouting budget so it looks like I have randomly got a negative transfer budget.

@Kyle Brown@Zachary Whyte why do my scouts keep scouting when they have run out of budget?

So no fix for this yet? Just happened for me on my Bryne save. 2 seasons i a row. Can't buy any players before a new season is a pretty heavy handicap...And the save is ruined.

@Kyle Brown@Zachary Whyte Hi both,  this issue still exists in FM24.

I have transferred my file from FM23 to FM24 and thought I will turn on the ''Keep Scout Report up to date'' in shortlist ticked.

I have been playing for about 4 months on FM24 with the optinon ticked and my scouting range has gone to no scouting but once again I am accruing debt.

I zm currently on minus 189k and that means I will have to turn that option off before it destroys another save. Are we near a fix for this?
