Hello, my name is Mike and I recently purchased FM2010. I started off as Arsenal and after a season I had finished 3rd in Premier League and had got to a Champions League Semi Final. I decided I wanted a challenge so I chose Norwich City in League 1. My aims are :
Season 1 : Promotion to Championship
Season 2 : Steady myself in the Championship
Season 3 : Promotion to Premiership
Season 4 : Establish myself in the Premiership
Season 5 : European Football

I decided to look at the free transfers to see which players I could buy. I signed Tommy Mooney, Rueben Reid and a few other players to boost my squad. Also I had Mark Viduka on trial before he decided to sign for Ipswich. Pre Season went well with the following results happening:
King's Lynn 0-6 Norwich
Lowestoft 0-3 Norwich
Norwich 2-1 Wigan
Norwich 0-2 Man City
Norwich 4-3 Birmingham
Dercham 0-3 Norwich

I was extremely pleased about these results especially the big Premier League scalps. They both played strong sides but Viduka absolutely demolished them. Also when I played Man City they fieled their first team.:(

Next up was the parent club, I asked the board to find me one and they came back with the following options:
Chelsea
Man City
West Ham
I chose Chelsea as when I looked at their Youth/Reserves and they had exciting young prospects.

These are the first few results of the season:

League 1
Norwich 1-0 Colchester
Bobo Balde (30)

League Cup
Grimsby 0-1 Norwich
Cody McDonald (90+1)

League 1
Exeter 1-2 Norwich
Darel Russell (14), Owais Tudor-Jones (39)

League 1
Brentford 2-1 Norwich
Grant Holt (83)

League 1
Norwich 3-1 Wycombe
Owais Tudor-Jones (11), Darel Russell (46), Grant Holt (77)

League Cup
Norwich 0-0 Wigan (AET : 4-5 Penalties)
Holt Missed, Mooney Scored, Hoolahlan Scored, Whaley Scored, Tudor-Jones Scored

I was pleased with these results and the most prolific players were Tudor Jones and Russell. I was pleased about the Wigan game as they played a fairly strong side and we took them all the way. I currently lie 3rd in League 1 aswell.

Here are some screenshots:
 
good luck mate i'll try to follow
 
never seen a norwich story before and im gonna follow with interest. good luck ^^)
 
I agree with cmh9090, it's sad to see a lack of stories on norwich. I started with them once but it proved to be a massive struggle, i just couldnt find the correct formation. The team overall is very underrated to what they are in real life, such as Grant Holt's stats. Im not just saying this because im a norwich fan ether, the same is with Leeds Beckford also. Lets see some more post's from ya!
