Chairman acting as DoF

[WarroOxford]

In my fourth season in my save and I've recently took over Sheff Wed in the Championship. Previously I managed Oxford City in the VNS and VNL and then Plymouth in League 2, both teams of which I utilized the Director of Football with good success.

However at Sheff Wed whenever I go to the DoF section under transfers it's the chairman who is the one offering transfer suggestions when prompted instead of my DoF. I've had a look in the staff responsibilities and can't see a way I can switch it to my DoF. 

I don't think it's a bug, but it's something I've never seen before and I'm just curious if it's something implemented into the game for certain chairman where they wish to be the all seeing eye, so to speak. Cheers!
