As a Danish longtime-follower of the Toon Army, I find it hard to make an impact on the media and club. But with this e-mail I would very much like to to promote the employment of Ottmar Hitzfeld as Newcastle United's next team manager.
NUFC need to success in their next appointment of a new manager. If they don't I'm very much affraid that will be the end of the club as we know it (wanting and moneywize capable of copeting at the highest level). In the following I would therefore very much like to adress why I promote Hitzfeld:
He is the only manager to win the Champions League with two different clubs. Today, no manager has a better overall record in UEFA's premier competition.
He's picked up the prestigious World Manager of the Year award twice or German manager of the year 5 times.
Hitzfeld rates the Premiership as "exciting" and one of the "best leagues in the world", "a league any coach would want to test himself in".
After 4 years of being two years out of management, he's now prepared to a new beginningin world football.
He can speak 4 different languages including English.
His last salary at Bayern Munich was exactly the same as Graeme Souness' at Newcastle - a reported £2.2 million per annum. And unlike the Scot, the club wouldn't have to pay compensation for Hitzfeld, he's free and available.

If Mr Shepherd contacts me then i will be delighted to manage a team with a great European pedigree like Newcastle United. So yes, i support this petition.
I support this petition. This man is surely the best choice, as supermac said recently, 'Leave O'neil alone until he wants to come back'. Besides which Hitzfeld would surely be picked ahead of him due to his pedigree?!
I support this petition.
Hitzfeld is the only choice, lets get this one right. He is world class and he is available - LETS GO AND GET HIM, COME ON FREDDY.
Never in my life as a supporter i wld expect souey to be as incapable as Daglish.
We need someone proven on the big stage, bring us forward to a higher level.
And Hitzfield is one of them.
I support this petition.
