If they really wanted her to stay it would have been part of the sale as it is extremely common for some parts of top mgmt. to stay on for another year or longer to transition to someone new.

Agreed.
I reckon Claire only announced her resignation after the deal was completed, full well knowing she'd have to step down.
It's a pity in a historic sense, but probably the best thing that could have happen. I always had this impression she could not lead the team in the same manner Frank and Patrick did.
