Or is someone is trying to let something out to see if we still have lose lips in the inner sanctum
Ooh I like it! TJ & MD have a deliberatly loud conversation about Elliot in the North Upper bogs trying to flush out the suspected mole in trap 2 who, once the paperwork's done, gets on the blower to the Mirror.

Could it just be that we are denying a story which had a fairly prominent amount of space in the Mirror, a national newspaper, rather than the wall of silence that greeted a collection of rumours on here (no matter how near the truth any of them may have been / may still be).
Sounds reasonable to me, so apologies in advance for that! ;-)
Only we choose to deny it on the NS rather than our own official site where it would get a lot more exposure. (Sorry Paul) which is perhaps the point.

Perhaps because Paul asked the question and, despite the padding out in the NS piece, the Chairman answered in 2 short sentences.
It just looks like a quick, polite answer to a question about a story in a national.
Apologies again southamptonaddick...the claret will wear off shortly!!
You have to admire Michael Slater's straight face and calm delivery;
"His (Elliot's) credentials are there for all to see
He's much admired by the Directors
Whatever his future holds we wish him all the best
The Board has not offered him a position with the Club" (Yet) He said.
Who knows what on earth is going on at the Club, but Slater's statement neither confirms nor denies anything. Indeed, if he leaves the Club in a few months time, as some on this Forum have suggested is likely, AND Elliot is then appointed as Chairman by Jimenez and his then fellow Directors, Slater would be able to say that his statement today was true AND that he believes the Club has made a very good decision!! Brilliant!!
He's far too smooth for local Journos!!
It's entirely possible that somebody at the Club, Jimenez perhaps, has been speaking to Elliot (without making any formal offer) and that some numpty leaked it. Slater could be aware of this and yet still have made today's statement with his typical eloquence, confident in the knowledge that he was speaking the literal truth whilst coveniently misleading readers!!

Excellent and all very Smiley's People.
It's the guy having a pish whilst TJ pretends to phone MS whilst in trap 1

Or am I too cynical?
Was he sitting behind the guy who I think was TJ ?
Kept looking across from the East when we lost possession yet again....
