An article appeared in the FT before his dismissal reporting "rumors" that the chairman was the only intelligent and competent person in the company, and that the CEO especially had no formal education in finance (which wasn't true). I think everybody saw this as a move by the chairman to create public pressure on the CEO and to play office politics. So the bank got rid of him.
