I find speculation to be about as useful as complaining about something you don't like. I'd rather be surprised by whatever they reveal. However, I doubt it's going to be that spectacular because .... This new Thor is just a gimmick. People are going to buy the comic until the novelty of a new character taking on the mantle of a popular hero and then the status quo will return to normal. I bet that Thor will have Mjolnir again by the time Avengers: Age of Ultron comes out. Same this with Sam Wilson being Captain America. Steve Rogers will likely be back by the time the next Avengers film comes out. There's be a big push to sell some multiple variant cover special edition title for these characters going back to the status quo.

As for what Fury whispered.. Does it really matter? It's a plot device, nothing more. It's not any more relevant as what Mary Jane whispered to Mephisto at the end of One More Day. It's just there as a back-door to be explained or used as writers see fit later.
