    Carlo Ancelotti's future dominates the front of the Spanish sports daily Marca.

    The Italian will remain in Madrid next year, but not as Real boss as he takes a year off from football management according to the paper., external

    The headline puns on "a year in white" and "a blank year". We think anyway.

    Former Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan on Raheem Sterling on Sportsweek:

    "There is no loyalty from players to clubs like what Steven Gerrard has shown to Liverpool. It is a thing of the past. But to be fair to players, there is not that much loyalty from clubs. It is a two-way thing.

    "Clubs give players extended contracts, part of the reason is to maximise to sell them. Suarez is a prime example. Liverpool renewed, I know things happened in the World Cup and before that, but he had a long time on his contract and it was a case of selling him to Barcelona."

    "My advice to Sterling is for him to get rid of your agent because that is the most stupid thing to say. Young players need agents who can advise them properly. They are young, not been around world many times don't know many things, even though some of them think they do.

    "My advice is for him to sign the contract. When he finished it he will be, say, 24, and not yet as his peak. If he wants to then go to Real Madrid or Barcelona - Messi will then be 32 or 33 - so be it, but first learn his trade. His form is nothing like last year. He was the most exciting player last year, but he's been in and out and only shown glimpses."

    Belete Eshetea: Good luck to Hull City just because I love Steve Bruce. I think he is a good manager and very honest.

    Simon McDermott: Because Newcastle got most their points 6 months ago, Pardew would be 1st manager to save 2 clubs from relegation in 1 season.

    Former Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan on Steven Gerrard on Sportsweek:

    "I met him for the first time when I was England manager.

    "There was nothing to dislike about him. His attitude was spot on and was very attentive. He showed leadership qualities in training at an early stage of his career. The way he talked, handled himself, gave people time. Once you have had it that age, you can only get better. The more I met him, the more I liked him."

    "If Steven Gerrard played for Bill Shankly he would have played in a better team than he did all his years at Liverpool and he would have won a lot more things.

    "His CV is amazing for what he hasn't won, rather than what he has won. If you turn back the clock and put him in our side, people have asked me where would he fit in that team you played in. I said he would be one of the first names on team sheet. He was that good."

    The Sunday Telegraph say that today will be Sam Allardyce's last in the West Ham job., external

    Allardyce - whose Hammers contract expires this summer - has been offered a chance to move into international management with Nigeria. Intriguing.

    Rafael Benitez turned down West Ham after Real Madrid got in contact with him about the possibility of replacing Carlo Ancelotti, so David Moyes, Eddie Howe, Slaven Bilic and Michael Laudrup are now possible targets for the Hammers.

  16. Busiest day of the seasonpublished at 09:39 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    Title decided. Top four decided. And two of the three relegations slots filled.

    There are plenty of dead rubbers around today. For some fans, reading the body language of unsettled players on the lap of honour will be the most interesting on-pitch action.

    Here are today's fixtures. All twenty teams kicking off at 15:00 BST.

    Arsenal v West Brom

    Aston Villa v Burnley

    Chelsea v Sunderland

    Crystal Palace v Swansea

    Everton v Tottenham

  17. Fair playpublished at 09:34 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    The Premier League will have three sides in next season's Europa League. But who will they be? Are you reading carefully? Then I shall begin:

    English clubs have three places in the Europa League - for the FA Cup winners, Capital One Cup winners and fifth-placed Premier League side.

    Chelsea won the League Cup on 1 March, and so their Europa League slot will be transferred to the team in sixth.

    Should Arsenal win the FA Cup, their Europa League place will be allocated to the next highest club in the Premier League that has not yet qualified for the tournament, rather than to the beaten finalists.

    The fight for fifth, sixth and seventh place will go to the final day of the season, and it is between Liverpool, Tottenham and Southampton.

    England has been granted an extra Europa League place as one of the top three countries in Uefa's Respect Fair Play league. That place is set to go to West Ham, Everton or Burnley.

    It won't be just Hull or Newcastle bidding goodbye to the Premier League today.

    Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard - lately of Manchester City, most famously of Chelsea - will be playing their final games before heading off to the sunny climes of the MLS.

    How will they be remembered? Who was better? Would sacrificing one for the other have been the key to unlocking the potential in England's golden generation?

    Hull City fan and blogger Rick Skelton, 35: "Grey start to the day in Hull which sums up the mood somewhat. I celebrated my birthday yesterday and wished for a win today! May 24th has been a good day for Hull City in the past with the 2008 Wembley win and last day survival a year later both coming on this date. Relegation won't be devastating but it's been so avoidable and would consequently be a big disappointment."

    BBC Sport will be talking to Rick and Newcastle fan Jamie Smith throughout the day as they give us a supporters' view of the drama that unfolds.

    It is pretty stark for Hull.

    They have to beat Manchester United at home this afternoon and hope that Newcastle fail to do the same at home to West Ham.

    Anything less and they are goners.

    Still at least owner Assem Allam is keeping his mind on the prize with his continued attempts to change the club's name to Hull Tigers., external
