When you've configured the game to have the owner controlling the budget, they owner will sometimes take money out of the team or even inject money into the team. The owners aren't always consistent from one team to the next in how much they meddle. Some owners are more patient than others. You're allowed to spend over your budget, but your owner isn't going to like you for it. If you do go in the red, then the money to get out of that will need to come from profits in a future season, unless the owner decides to put some of his own cash into the team. Being in the red will make it harder for you to sign or trade players.

I must say, I'm a bit confused that you started with your team in the red. I haven't seen that happen before.
