Norwegians want Fjortoft added to Liverpool staff

The Norwegian consortium ready to bid for Liverpool also hopes to add former Middlesbrough and Barnsley striker Jan Aage Fjortoft to Anfield's coaching staff.
Fjortoft, who is currently manager of Lillestrom, has been acting as an advisor to the group, which is headed by Oystein Stray Spetalen, a financial investor worth an estimated £150m.
The Guardian says Spetalen hopes Fjortoft would play some role at Liverpool should they succeed in buying significantly into the club.
