To get the conspiracy theorists going it should be noted that the post with the BoE is normally eight years but he told them he would only stay for 5 and would leave in 2018.
Seriously though, if this position was a stepping stone for him what would the next step be? Head of the IMF or World Bank? Chairman of the Federal Reserve in the US? Canadian politics? Or big money in the private sector? There can't be many more steps for someone in his position.
