Paul Ready:, external Does losing Steven Gerrard, and also the likelihood of missing out on the Champions League next season, make it even harder for Liverpool to attract the players their squad desperately need?

Phil: I do not think Gerrard leaving will make it harder for Liverpool to attract players but I think missing out on the Champions League would, simply because this is the competition elite players want to play in. I am very surprised Liverpool did not put together a package to keep Gerrard for another 12 months

More from Newcastle caretaker boss John Carver, ahead of this weekend's game against Chelsea: "The players have been fantastic with me. The feedback from the players has been excellent so far and I'm happy with that.

"We've got a good record against Chelsea and we have to use that to our advantage this weekend."

Clarifying its own position on the Ched Evans situation, the PFA said: "The PFA's position remains the same, as we have expressed previously, that any club which decides to sign him would receive our support.

"We fully recognise that this is a delicate and emotive case and entirely respect that there are opposing views."

Oldham decided against offering the striker a contract earlier on Thursday.

The full statement from Ched Evans, issued via the Professional Footballers Association

"I am grateful for the support of the PFA in helping me try to return to football and continue my career.

Upon legal advice, I was told not to discuss the events in question. This silence has been misinterpreted as arrogance and I would like to state that this could not be further from the truth.

I do remain limited at present by what I can say due to the ongoing referral to the Criminal Cases Review Commission and whilst I continue to maintain my innocence, I wish to make it clear that I wholeheartedly apologise for the effects that night in Rhyl has had on many people, not least the woman concerned.

Finally, it has been claimed that those using social media in an abusive and vindictive way towards this woman are supporters of mine. I wish to make it clear that these people are not my supporters and I condemn their actions entirely and will continue to do so."

Convicted rapist Ched Evans has issued an apology via the Professional Footballers' Association "for the effects that night in Rhyl has had on many people, not least the woman concerned" but maintains his innocence in relation to his conviction for rape.

Jim McMahon, Oldham council leader, says about Ched Evans' proposed move to Oldham Athletic, which is not going ahead: "I've always believed in rehabilitation but felt that both club and player should have allowed Mr Evans' appeal to run its course before agreeing a contract. As it stands Mr Evans has been found guilty in a court of law and has not yet completed his sentence. However, I take no pleasure in this outcome.

"The whole episode has divided the town and public opinion and there are no winners in all this - not least of all the reputation of our club and town.

"In recent days we've seen an horrendous 'trial by social media' with intimidation, abuse and harassment on a scale that has cast a terrible shadow. I am urging people on all sides of this debate to please now take stock, show some restraint and calm."
