Kevin Nolan: "We were all in the dining room when the news popped up on television and it was emotional to see the reaction of the lads who had worked under him.
"It was a sad, sad day.
"I'm a bit of an emotional guy myself so it was hard. Sir Bobby was fantastic for football and fantastic for England.
"I think the fans celebrated his life because what a fantastic man he was and what a fantastic life he had.
"We know as much as you (about the future of the club) but all the lads who are here at the moment have said that they want to stick with us and give 100% for Newcastle.
"Now if a club comes in and offers a ridiculous amount of money for someone then that could all change.
"We are 110% behind Chris and his staff and they are 110% behind us.
"As a team we have to stick together and hopefully try to get through to September without losing too many players.
"But one thing we will have to do if it stays the way it is, is to bring a couple of new faces in to freshen things up and to strengthen in places where we need to strengthen.
"But no-one will find it difficult coming to this club. It is a fantastic club, it has great history.
"You've seen how many fans turned up at Tannadice and so if Newcastle United come calling for anyone, albeit we are in the Championship now, I don't think many people will put the phone down."
