Bournemouth are ready to stick with caretaker manager Gary O'Neil.

The Sun says he is set for extra time as Bournemouth boss under new owner William Foley.

The American businessman is about to conclude a takeover deal and deciding on a full-time gaffer will be his first priority.

O'Neil, 39, has been in caretaker charge since Scott Parker was sacked last month.

And sources close to Foley, 77, say he is happy with O'Neil's work and has heard good things about him.

The ex-Cherries coach has been nominated for the Prem's Manager of the Month award.

Ex-Burnley chief Sean Dyche is among those linked with the post but Foley looks set to stick with O'Neil for now.
