The whispers and rumours surrounding Peter Kenyon's bombshell of a departure from Chelsea have begun in earnest but, as with every key decision taken by the silent Roman Abramovich, the real reasons behind Wednesday's news are likely to remain out of the public domain, officially at least.
Was Kenyon the victim of a behind-closed doors power struggle with Frank Arnesen? Is he being lined up for a role at Manchester City? Did the Gael Kakuta saga spell the end of his grip on the Stamford Bridge piggy bank?
Concerns over Chelsea's recruitment policy have been paramount following the Kakuta case and the timing is interesting, but surely their aggregation of young players, and the methods by which that is achieved, falls under the remit of Frank Arnesen, not Kenyon. Indeed, the influence of the Dane has been mooted as a potential factor in Kenyon's departure.
