Former Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the surprise name among the leading candidates to replace Steve Kean as manager of Blackburn.
Representatives of the 39-year-old have expressed an interest in the post, with Tim Sherwood and former Real Madrid boss Bernd Schuster also in the frame. Solskjaer won the Norwegian league title in his first full season with Molde and his contract expires in 2014.
Sir Alex Ferguson has tipped his former striker as a star in the making.
"If you go to a club in Norway that have never won the league in their history and you win that league, then you have to have something about you," the United manager said last year.
After ending his playing career in 2007, Solskjaer took charge of United's reserve team for two and a half years before guiding Molde to their first Norwegian league title in 100 years in 2011.
Molde are level on points at the top of the table this season, with the final game due to take place on 18 November.
Solskjaer would fit the mould of the young, progressive manager favoured by Blackburn but leading figures have yet to settle on a final shortlist.
Sherwood has considerable support among leading figures at Ewood Park but Tottenham are resistant to allowing their technical co-ordinator to walk away from White Hart Lane.
Solskjaer held talks with Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner during the summer following the sacking of Alex McLeish. But the man who earned the nickname of "the baby-faced assassin", opted to remain with Molde because he was reluctant to uproot his wife Silje and three children from Norway.
At the time Molde had qualified for this season's Champions League but defeat by Basel in the third qualifying round ended their hopes of reaching the group stage. Kean quit on Friday, with his assistant Eric Black taking caretaker charge for the 1-1 draw at Charlton.
Rovers managing director Derek Shaw insists appointing a manager to replace the Scot will be a significant decision in Blackburn's history.
Shaw told BBC Radio Lancashire: "Every managerial appointment is important and there are one or two interested names that have come through already."
But he refused to be drawn on potential suitors, adding: "The phones have been ringing and people have been putting names forward for the vacancy.
"We'll have to discuss that in the next week or two. When there's something proper, everybody will be told."
Sordell has said he and teammates were racially abused by Millwall supporters this afternoon.
Jesus christ.
Kean In!
Owen Coyle has been sacked. :haha:
Sheffield Wednesday vs Leeds is 1-1 at the moment. A Leeds fan ran on to the pitch, one of them whacked Chris Kirkland down to the ground. :blink:
1-1 FT.
Neil Warnock is going mental over that fan, thought rightfully so.
Funny that he actually somehow ended up saying moran though. :haha:
I didn't realise quite a few fans had gone on to the pitch. Then that dick goes back in to the crowd looking extremely proud of himself.
Chairs were thrown too apparently.
What a twat.
The stupid knob end even slipped over.
Hope they dock leeds points and this **** is jailed.
Leeds should be thrown out of the country.
The Leeds fan has been jailed for 4 months. :pal:
:lol:
In with Wednesday supporters hopefully.
What a fucking cissy, fancy going down from a kiss like that. Fan will be dealt with and rightly so, but little chance of girly man ever developing a set by the look of it. Do these blokes have no shame? Their first instinct is to cry no matter what happens or how trivial it is. Just take the fucking slap, laugh, let the knob be arrested and retain a little fucking dignity in the process.
Dougie Freeman has left Palace to join Bolton.
Despite Palace being right near the top. About time there was a managerial window tbf.
Seems like a bit of a sideways move, even if Bolton are the slightly bigger club they are also in piles of debt.
It seemed a nice fit with him being a former player and them doing pretty well in the league. Zaha will now be off in January as well.
I imagine Palace will be delighted with the choices of Mccarthy, Davies and Curbishley... so long as they stay away from Ronnie Moore.
Maybe Coppell will go back for the 700th time?

Surprised Fulham aren't playing him. Looked an amazing talent. In the Suso, Oxlade type of tekkers.
