Newcastle fan wants Matthias Jaissle gone and replaced by sacked Premier League manager

Matthias Jaissle is ‘out of his depth’ at Newcastle and should be replaced with Thomas Frank, according to one Magpies fan. Just three months after his appointment at St James’ Park , pressure is already mounting on Jaissle as his side slumped to a fourth defeat in five games against Everton on Monday. The Magpies lost 1-0 at home against the Toffees – just days after they were dumped out of the Carabao Cup by the same opposition. Back-to-back defeats saw Newcastle’s worrying run of form continue, who now sit a lowly 13th in the Premier League table. With results appearing to get worse rather than better, Jaissle has come in for increased scrutiny, even being warned that his side could be dragged into a relegation battle . That’s despite a solid start to life in the north east – which saw the German win four of his eight matches in all competitions, including a 2-2 draw with Liverpool on his touchline debut for the Magpies. But with Jaissle’s honeymoon period now well and truly over, one Newcastle fan has now called for drastic action to be taken. Frank tipped for Newcastle job On Tuesday’s talkSPORT Breakfast, hosts Jeff Stelling and Andy Townsend took calls from Newcastle supporters, who shared their thoughts on the club’s current situation. Magpies fan Steve rang up with a bold suggestion – as he called for Jaissle to be sacked and replaced with former Tottenham and Brentford boss Thomas Frank . Frank has been out of work since being fired by Spurs in February , but has continually linked with a return to the Premier League , most recently at struggling sides Fulham and Crystal Palace . Asked if he was worried about Newcastle, Steve replied: “Massively. I think the manager’s well out of his depth. “The recruitment team’s going to take a lot of responsibility for this as well though because you can’t lose players like Sandro Tonali , Bruno Guimaraes and bring young players in expecting to deliver what the old players have delivered in the past. “The manager doesn’t seem to have a style of play. He keeps saying we’ve got this ‘vertical football’. It just seems like there’s no plan at all. But the senior players have got to take some responsibility. “I do think it’s time for him to go, unfortunately.” Steve then named his recommendation for the Newcastle job in Frank, who garnered a strong reputation by guiding Brentford to the Premier League in a hugely successful seven-year stint. He continued: “A lot of people laugh at this, but I think Thomas Frank’s the man for the job. “Listen, Thomas, what he did and what he did well at Brentford, he went into Spurs and he couldn’t apply. It never worked. “Whether he could do the same at Newcastle again if he was to get an opportunity – I think there’s a debate on that, whether that would be the right appointment for Newcastle. I’m not quite so convinced.” What is the latest on Thomas Frank? Despite a difficult six-month stint which led to his sacking at Tottenham, Frank has remained on the radar of Premier League sides since then. talkSPORT revealed in October that the Dane was a leading contender to take charge at Fulham if they sack Alvaro Arbeloa. He is also understood to be among the list of candidates explored by Crystal Palace as potential options to replace Pierre Sgae. Frank meanwhile, has made it clear that he was in no rush to take a new job, saying in the summer: “There have been conversations and opportunities since leaving Spurs, but I have decided not to rush into the next role. “For me, this summer is not the right time to go back into management. “When the time is right, I will look forward to my return as a manager, ready to embrace the job with great energy and dedication.”
