It has been a tumultuous summer from a Newcastle perspective, so much so that fans probably would not mind seeing the start of the 2026-27 season delayed.
After a difficult 2025-26, things at St James’ Park quickly descended into more chaos, with manager Eddie Howe joining a plethora of high-profile names out the exit door.
Matthias Jaissle has been brought in as Howe’s replacement, the 38-year-old German having previously managed Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli.
Can he deliver with a new-look squad? Or will the clouds of mediocrity hang over Tyneside once again?

What are the best pre-season Newcastle betting tips for 2026/27?
While Newcastle failed to finish in the top half last season, backing them to do so this time around looks a great bet.
At odds of 2.10, you may not find a better pre-season pick.
Yes, Jaissle is a new manager having to cope with significant departures and fan unrest, but the Magpies’ squad is still brimming with talent.
And without the distraction of Champions League football – or any European football for that matter – Newcastle can focus solely on their domestic exploits in 2026-27.
The Tynesiders had secured three consecutive top-half finishes prior to last season’s failure, and after the fanfare of the summer, it is perhaps worth keeping a keen eye on team performances and progression.
