Was Andy Carroll pushed out by Newcastle

Question

Was Andy Carroll pushed out by Newcastle? Andy Carroll is laughing all the way to the bank with his 35 million pound payday. Andy joined Liverpool in a crazy £35millon deal, but yet he is claiming Newcastle had 'pushed him out of the door'.

Would there be backlash from fans for St James' Park owner Mike Ashley or 35 million are a reason on its own for Andy to say goodbye to yesterday?
