Bournemouth chairman Abdul Jaffer is interested in speaking with Jamie Redknapp about the managerial vacancy.

The Cherries are on the lookout for a new boss after Sean O'Driscoll ended his 22-year association with the club to become Dave Penney's successor at Doncaster Rovers.

Both O'Driscoll and assistant Richard O'Kelly have made the switch to Belle Vue and Jaffer wants a high-profile replacement, with former Bournemouth trainee Redknapp a possible candidate.

"Jamie is one name I've had on my on my mind," Jaffer said.

"Harry (Redknapp) has often said he would like to come back and, if Jamie's looking to get into management,I would like to hear from him.

"We want to bring the buzz back and a big-name manager would help us."

It remains to be seen if the former Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton midfielder wants to try his hand at football management.

Redknapp junior, capped 17 times by England, has been working as a pundit for Sky TV since he retired from playing.

Bournemouth have already added another former England international to their ranks. Darren Anderton signed as O'Driscoll departed.

Anderton, 34, has joined on a pay-as-you-play basis for the rest of the season after leaving Wolves on a free transfer. He has unhappy memories of Withdean.

He was substituted at half-time by Glenn Hoddle in Wolves' 1-1 draw with Albion last season.

Jaffer said: "We are delighted to have signed a player of Darren's calibre. It shows how far this club has come and it underlines the Board's ambition."

Anderton trained with his new team-mates for the first time yesterday but he is not expected to feature tonight.

He watched O'Driscoll's emotional farewell, Saturday's 1-0 home win against Crewe.

News broke of O'Driscoll's departure on Friday afternoon, the day after Mark McGhee's sacking by Albion.

"It has felt weird saying goodbye to so many people and wellwishers," O'Driscoll said.

"I've been here a long time and Bournemouth have been a big part of my life.

"But the players won't miss me. Being players, they are already thinking about the next game and I am history." O'Driscoll has left Bournemouth on a high.

The Crewe victory, courtesy of the second goal of the campaign for on-loan Southampton striker Leon Best, made it ten points from the last 12 since taking only one point from the first three games. Bournemouth have a safe pair of hands in temporary charge.

Sompting-based former MK Dons manager Stewart Murdoch, their goalkeeping coach since July 2005, is being helped out by head of youth Joe Roach.

Murdoch said: "I watched Brighton at Millwall, which was an interesting game. The scouting report really goes out of window when a player (Richard Carpenter) is sent off.

"But they showed a lot of enthusiasm and fight and from that performance it was evident the players want Dean Wilkins and Dean White to get the job."

Wilkins is particularly aware of the threat posed by top scorer James Hayter and the migraine-suffering Best, who is a slight doubt, together with centre half Karl Broadhurst (ankle).

"We've had them watched two or three times," Wilkins said. "We are aware of the shape that they play and the goal threat they've got.

"Our side is based partly around that but around what we are capable of doing as well, so we are full prepared to meet the task ahead."
