Point being, ultimately, that his name was not included in the original publication of the article by The Athletic.
As it wasn’t included, you could reasonably assume that when Michelle was talking to the reporter she did not mention Elliott as part of the list of people who were essential in her takeover – and that she either didn’t mention him deliberately, or didn’t even think of him at all as his input was so inconsequential.
So, you could also reasonably assume that the addition of Elliott’s name several hours after publication was down to a complaint from him.
