Chris Mort: "I don't want to lose home games and neither does Sam.
"I didn't enjoy Portsmouth at all.
"But it would be wrong for us to join in with the wave of emotion after one game.
"We are taking it forward and we realise that we are one of the clubs that should be playing football on a regular basis in Europe.
"We all would love big European nights here.
"We have 50,000 fans at St James's Park who would love European football and the chance to go to games on the Continent as well.
"If we are to take the club forward, European football is something we would like to return to Newcastle.
"It would be wrong to say Sam is going to deliver it this year or put timescales on what we are trying to do.
"There have been a lot of changes in terms of coaches and the board - everything has changed.
