[Do Limits on goals and assists exist?]

The limit of a season data for scoring is 8-bit which is about 256 goals in season. That’s the limitation.

 I would be very interesting (SI as well) if someone can score 256 goals per season without a cheat. 

As OP seems to be under the impression the game is conspiring against them, it's probably worth being explicit that this is a limit of the recorded statistics. It doesn't mean the game engine will no longer allow a player to score, just that the stats on the history tab won't record accurately beyond a certain point.

[Why is my overall balance so low?]

You say the balance was £268M at the start, but if you look at the very beginning of the chart the balance was negative. That might have been before you took over, but that's the time period used for all of the totals on that page. If you've made a profit of £52M and have a balance of £39M, that works out to a starting point of about £13M - which looks about right for what the beginning of the chart shows.

[Staff responsibility: selecting set piece takers]

This year is my first time playing FM in a little while. The monthly meetings are great, but one annoyance is that I constantly get a bunch of suggestions to add/remove players as corner kick takers and free-kick takers.

It wouldn't be so bad but there are about a billion types of free kick, each with their own list. I really don't care to go through manually sorting the "direct", "direct (small chance of shot)" "indirect (wide)" and "indirect (deep)" takers (each one separately for left and right) when the players seem to do a fine job of just giving it to whoever's good at them anyway. Sometimes I have to skip through four pages of recommendations at the start of the staff meeting. And I can't just skip to the next section, because there are other parts of the 'coaching' section that I do want to see. It wouldn't be so bad if there were a "Do it" button, but it's one of those "Schedule after the meeting" options where it just gives you an inbox reminder to do it yourself, which is more work than I can be bothered with in all honesty.

I took a look through staff responsibilities in the hope I could just tell my assistant manager to decide set piece takers for me, but apparently not. It seems like a reasonable thing to be able to hand off to them.

Seems like a big task but i like the challenge keep me up to date with your save

Well, it didn't quite go to plan. All my strikers forgot how to score and we went 14 games without a win. We turned that around in the final few weeks and put a few good results together, but it was too late and relegation was confirmed with 2 games left to play. Ended the season 22nd out of 23 teams, 8 points from safety. Considering the state the club was in when I arrived, I'm taking "didn't finish bottom" as a success even if I had hoped for more. I'll stick around to take a shot at promotion next season. Lots of dead wood coming off the wage bill and some decent free transfers already sorted out.

First time back to the series since FM18 or so, but I'm picking up where I left off in terms of playing style: start unemployed with no experience/badges, lots of leagues active, and see what happens. Not playing full LLM style, but something in that direction.

I had a few offers in Sweden's bottom tier but they didn't quite feel right to me. Had an interview at a struggling side in the Chilean second tier but they went for someone else.

In October/November I started getting a few offers from English lower league (NL/NLN/NLS) sides. I'd been intending to go somewhere a bit more left field, but when Dover came in for me their 12 point deduction seemed like an interesting challenge. I think it was mid-November when I took over, and up to that point they'd gained exactly 12 points, so I started from 0 with the four teams above me all on 12 or 13pts. After a win in my first game I lost 4 of the next 5, but I'm starting to turn things around and get a few points on the board. We're now only 3 points from lifting ourselves off the bottom of the table, but we're still 11 behind the bottom non-relegation spot. Board expectation is only to battle bravely against relegation, so I think I'm doing ok-ish there even if not great. Star player's loan has finished and his club have no interest in letting him come back, but if I can find a decent creative midfielder (and ideally a little more backup at DM) before the end of January I think I have a chance of staying up. It'll most likely have to be a loan, though, as there's only about £30 p/w left in the wage budget and no transfer budget to shift into it. There are a few useless players on reasonably high wages who I'm trying to find new homes for, but so far other clubs don't want them any more than I do...
