Sam Allardyce and Graeme Souness are in the frame for Paul Ince's Blackburn Rovers job.
The Daily Mail says Ince is facing the sack following the game against Liverpool and the club are already considering alternatives, with Allardyce and former manager Souness on their list.
Rovers made enquiries yesterday to see where Allardyce stands with regards to replacing Roy Keane at Sunderland and were encouraged to learn nothing has been decided.
But their other option is to bring back Souness and unite him with highly-popular midfielder Tugay.
