Despite the unbeaten team which was broken up too soon to be honest, Arsenal moving the stadium was at the right time in general. With FFP, it'd be very hard More than so now.

He was in favour of Wembley and still wanted a move
Sorry, continued - I think they were looking for the right excuse to give him the boot anyway - he was so popular among the coaching staff and the players, as well as the supporters, that he was resented among the rest of the board.

I think his preference was that Arsenal move to Wembley, because the financial impact wouldn't have been as conspicuous.
And the battle at board level still goes on!
