Word reaches me that around 700 people have applied for the 10 remaining positions on the Olympics 2012 Legacy Delivery Vehicle.
Chairman Baroness Ford is sifting through the applications to advise her on building 12,000 homes and 1.7m sq ft of offices and industrial space as I write.
Last week EG, somewhat mischievously, suggested that Lambert Smith Hampton chief executive Philip Lewis was a good bet given his property and sport connections - he is also chairman of Sport England.
Other names thought to have a sporting chance are Hammerson non-executive David Edmonds and ex Grosvenor chief executive Jeremy Newsum.
They all sound plausible but who are the other 690 odd?
