Actually, it just says the plan was scrapped because he was fired. All that means is he was the one in charge of the plan and nobody took it over after he left. That could have been the intent behind his firing, but it seems about as likely to be collateral damage.
You could be right.. all other sources were extremely tight lipped and would only state that it was down to a difference in philosophy. That was the only article I could find that actually had any indication of what sort of policies he was implementing there in the time leading up to him getting fired and so I am probably pretty guilty of making an inference based on far too little information.
