Maybe they had a replacement all lined up but it then fell through?
Their deadline isn't for a while so I they still wouldn't need to all of a sudden pull the plug. Also like I say it's been pretty widely reported that they decided they wanted to sell him to recover some cash so they would surely still be "happy" to let him go for the right price even if they didn't have an immediate replacement lined up. It's not like we've pursuaded them to let him go and they've gone "Ok well let's just see if we can get a replacement first", they were actively trying to offload him for a while.
