In the last couple months Denner & PP had got rid over 70% of the board members (as you already noticed in one of your previous post), fired a bunch VPs, and replaced many key position in of the company management from HR, IR, to GC (general counsel). Could it be that Denner already had a plan on replacing Tim Clarkson, too?
And it could also be that Denner is accelerating on selling Ariad, and once the company merged into Big Pharm, Tim no longer has the same environment for his R&D work like at Ariad, so he's preparing for an exit (?)
Anyway, no matter what is happening, if you take a look at Ariad website, highly recommend you viewing the following 2 pages, you would see Ariad today is 10 times better than Ariad a year ago.
