The next Governor of the Bank of England

Who will succeed Sir Mervyn King as Governor of the Bank of England?

Way above DMossEsq's pay grade, this is the sort of question for which one turns for an answer to the Thunderer.

Op
Camilla Cavendish, said in the Times on 12 July 2012, Wanted: one governor, two different skill sets:

Gus O’Donnell, the former Cabinet Secretary and bookies’ favourite, would be a shrewd manager with Whitehall knowhow, but he would need a strong cabinet of deputy governors with commercial track records.

Ed
But according to the next day's leader, The Short List:

Lord O’Donnell, the former Cabinet Secretary, has the economics but no commercial experience and surprisingly weak support in the Treasury.

Whitehall – SNAFU
What makes Ms Cavendish think he's a shrewd manager?

Whose bust is it anyway?
What makes the leader-writer think that the economics Lord O'Donnell "has" are the economics we need?

And why is his Treasury support weak?
