Job for the boy?

From the Finanical Times a few days ago.

Mr Blair, who is expected to leave office at the beginning of July, is unlikely simply to take to the international lecture circuit, according to Downing Street insiders.

He has not ruled out the possibility of a heavyweight job representing his former fellow heads of government as the president of the European Council in two years’ time, assuming such a position is created under an overhaul of the EU treaty later this year.

Could that explain this, or is it simply a repeat of the canard that has been doing the rounds for years?
