I thought Liewikie was the one that wanted to leave.
But this makes it appear like maybe he was chased out.
Its been reported that he was waiting for his non-compete clause to expire, so he can pursue his own business ventures down in the states.
I think the plan all along was to come in and fix things up with MLSE and eventually move on. Looks like there are no hard feelings between Tim and MLSE so he doesn't want to leave them in limbo and will fill the gap until a new President is hired.
Doesn't smell like any type of force out for me
