Dean Holden believes Gary O'Neil has all the characteristics to take the Bournemouth job on a full-time basis following the duo's time at Bristol City.
O'Neil was appointed interim manager of the Cherries following Scott Parker's sacking last week and steadied the ship following a 9-0 drubbing against Liverpool with a 0-0 draw with Wolves in his first match. He then followed that up with an impressive 3-2 comeback victory over Nottingham Forest.
The former Robins midfielder is now second favourite to be offered the permanent position behind ex-City defender Sean Dyche while Luton's Nathan Jones is also firmly in the running, according to the bookies' odds.
