Newcastle refuse to give in to the criticism. Matthias Jaissle has the full support of the club management – and now new signings are being prepared to turn around the difficult period.
Newcastle United have no plans to sack Matthias Jaissle. According to TEAMtalk, the club is one hundred percent behind the German head coach and has no doubt whatsoever that he is the right man to lead the long-term project at St James’ Park. – Easy to understand the frustration of the fans: 11 points in 9 games in the Premier League is not good enough for a club of Newcastle’s size.
Leeds ready with £25 million! what a brilliant Harry Wilson upgrade
Despite a disappointing run of results – with losses in five of the last seven games – sources insist that the club’s management has absolutely no intention of making a hasty decision. On the contrary: They are fully committed to supporting him, including with further investment in the January window. Rumours have it that those in possession of the money have set aside £100 million for player purchases.
Wilson has full confidence
Sporting director Ross Wilson personally singled out Jaissle as the man to succeed Eddie Howe this summer, and played a leading role in shaping the club’s recruitment strategy ahead of the new season. Wilson is still one hundred percent behind the 38-year-old German.
This summer’s rebuild brought eight players to Tyneside – all under the age of 24 – as Newcastle moved towards a younger squad that could develop together in the years to come. The intention was to cover all parts of the squad and at the same time give Jaissle the foundation to implement his football philosophy.
The German coach came to Newcastle with a reputation as one of the world’s most promising young coaches, and there was considerable optimism surrounding his appointment. However, after a promising start, results have dwindled in recent weeks – with four defeats in the last five games. Most recently came a 1-0 defeat against Everton, where the Newcastle boss made little attempt to hide his frustration with his players.
No overreaction – but a clear message
Jaissle admitted that the team had not followed the game plan, and the performance made him particularly disappointed – which has raised questions about his authority on the coaching staff.
The Newcastle management remains firmly behind the manager and believes strongly in the project they are building, with Jaissle as a key piece. Sources acknowledge that the results have been disappointing, but stress that there will be no “overreaction” at St James’ Park.
Internally, there is an understanding that it takes time to build a squad and establish a new identity – especially after several key players have disappeared in the last 18 months. Alexander Isak, Sandro Tonali, Anthony Gordon and Bruno Guimaraes have all left the club for a combined £369 million. Replacing players of that quality is never easy, and the management believes the current squad needs time to develop and adapt to the changes.
There is also an understanding that Jaissle needs more opportunities to shape the group in his image – rather than being judged solely on a difficult streak of results early in the period.
The club cracks down on internal turmoil
Newcastle are becoming increasingly frustrated by suggestions that some players have leaked negative information about the club in recent weeks. The management is determined to prevent internal turmoil from undermining the project, and has made it clear that they will not tolerate players briefing negatively against the club.
The message is part of a broader desire to maintain cohesion as Newcastle navigate a challenging period. Crucially, the club does not intend to let Jaissle handle the situation alone.
Newcastle are prepared to make new moves in the January window, with Wilson and the recruitment department ready to explore opportunities to strengthen the squad. The aim is to give Jaissle more tools to implement his ideas – and close the gaps where the current squad has fallen short.
