Mortgage bank 同盟 & Leicester dropped a bombshell Friday night by axing its 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のある Peter White after a boardroom 破産した／（警察が）手入れする-up.

A terse 声明 from the board said he 'has left the company with 即座の 影響' に引き続いて 'a 相違 of 見解（をとる）s over the 管理／経営 of the group'.

White's 追い出すing followed a late evening board 会合 at which he was 直面するd by a 反乱 from his (n)役員／(a)執行力のある team.

Chairman John Windeler said: 'His 管理／経営 style was not the 権利 one going 今後. . . a more consensual style was needed.' Asked why the 決定／判定勝ち（する） had come now, he said: 'There is never a good time'.

Windeler takes over until a 後継者 - from inside or out - is 設立する.

The move will 誘発する／引き起こす new 憶測 about 合併 計画（する）s at the £5bn former building society, which also owns Girobank.

The board is '決定するd to be a 重要な player in the 進化 and consolidation of the 財政上の services 産業'. Though no 会談 are under way, White's 出発 will （疑いを）晴らす the way for a 取引，協定. The 株, up 15p to 888p, are likely to rise again on Monday.
