They just wanted to get rid of him. My suspicions are that his trip to Liverpool were motivated by blackmail from Central Office. With so much evidence on his side, including the endorsement of the article by the Mayor of Liverpool and half of the city's local press, why else would he not just tell Howard to get stuffed?
