FA chairman Greg Dyke added: "We have reviewed the Ched Evans case in some detail at the FA and we have examined both the legal requirements and our rules and regulations.

"I would encourage the game to consider and discuss this matter and the prospect for future guidelines or codes of conduct.

"The FA will certainly be considering it in line with our own ongoing review of what constitutes public or private communications and behaviour."

The comments of PFA chief Gordon Taylor have been dominating events so far today.

Taylor has apologised for comparing the Hillsborough tragedy to the Ched Evans rape case.

FA chairman Greg Dyke has now spoken on the issue and said there is "no basis for us to intervene directly in this particular case".

Dyke added: "That said it is important that we continue to look at the issue of behaviour and attitudes within football, and recognise the unique privileges and responsibilities that come with being a participating member of the national game."
