‘We need time’ - Newcastle United release message to supporters after £250m exodus Matthias Jaissle was officially unvelied as Newcastle nited manager earlier today. Matthias Jaissle has vowed that Newcastle United are ambitious but urged fans to give the team “time” after a hectic summer window. A high-profile exodus at St James’ Park has resulted in Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes and Eddie Howe leaving the club. Toon chiefs have made five youthful additions and remain active in the market. Jaissle is the one tasked with leading the rebuild - being dubbed “Newcastle 2.0” by insiders. Champions League qualifications and silverware in recent years have raised expectations on Tyneside - but the German is calling for caution ahead of the new campaign. “That we are ambitious, that's the most important thing,” Jaissle said when asked about his Newcastle remit. “Also why I decided to come here. But this will not happen overnight, especially when you have such a big transition phase now. “Then you need to have a clear goal, a clear vision of where we want to go. That starts from the decision-makers up in front. From the management, from the board. “And then, again, what I said already, if you have that synergy with the fans, with the players, with the staff, everyone included… I'm pretty sure it will be a successful story. “But we need time now, and we can only do our best day by day, breaking it down with the goal long ahead, but we need to cut it down. What is the most important thing today, what is the most important thing tomorrow, and if we have that approach I'm really optimistic that we're going in the right direction.”
