[St Charles Owl]

If Brentford had wanted him to stay they would have accommodated him within the structure, especially given the success he had brought to the club. The fact they chose to pull the rug from under his feet appears to me (at least) that they thought they could do better without him

To a point I agree with you, they do feel they can achieve what they want to without him, but their chairman has very fixed views on structure and the way the club will operate and he does not appear to be someone who will bend on that.

Besides, if I was Warburton after the run he had there his stock was as high as it was likely to be, so he was able to stand to his principles in the knowledge that there would likely be a better job for him after he left.  The fact he continued for half a season after the announcement shows that this was a difference of future philosophy rather than him being firmly pushed out the door.
