"We have meetings like any other team. We had meetings last year when we were playing fantastic. The meetings we have are to improve us, we can speak and see what is going wrong. The manager and the players are together. Nobody wants to go down here, we are all fighting together."
Coloccini commands huge respect in the Newcastle dressing room and his return was always likely to help bring everyone together, although Ginola is not convinced all his fellow Frenchman are as bothered as they should be by Newcastle's predicament.
"I spoke a few weeks ago about the fact there are 10 French players in the squad and whether it would be a good thing for the club," he told TalkSport Radio.
"At the time it seemed that it was positive because they were going to bring something different to the club, but after a few weeks it wasn't good enough and it still isn't now.
"Playing in Europe and then in a Premier League relegation fight are completely different things. You have to have the right sort of players for that task and I'm not sure that the players are concerned about it.
"The players are thinking, 'Well if the club is relegated then we will leave in the summer'.
"Hopefully they're going to find something to help save the club because Newcastle United and the fans need to stay in the Premier League. I hope they are impressing that importance onto them."
