Ok, so George Osbourne has announced the new Bank of England governor for an eight year term. The current man who will be appointed is, Mark Carney.
He's actually a relatively unexpected candidate, and the first non-British man to be governor.
I hadn't heard much about him, myself, but here's the brief on him, from that highly reliable source, Wikipedia:
It seems, judging by his current credentials, that he might be a pretty good man for the job (based on the above short summary). If I remember I'll update my views on this once I've read the economist articles on this, but what do people think?

Mark J. Carney (born March 16, 1965) is the eighth and current governor of the Bank of Canada and the current Chairman of the G20's Financial Stability Board.[1] These appointments were on October 4, 2007 (for a seven-year term), and on November 4, 2011 (for a three-year term).[2][3] Carney achieved these positions by working his way up the ranks of Goldman Sachs, the Canadian Department of Finance, and the Bank of Canada as Deputy Governor. Carney has been credited with shielding Canada from the worst effects of the late-2000s financial crisis, and has earned recognition by the Financial Times and TIME magazine as a top figure in the financial world.
