They quote a spokesperson as saying: "Eidos announces that Warren Spector has relinquished his role as Studio Director at Ion Storm. Warren has chosen to pursue personal interests outside the company, but he will continue to work for Eidos as an IP consultant. His insight and expertise is highly valued by Eidos, and the company looks forward to continuing its relationship with Warren in his new role."

Spector's official title was studio director. I don't believe he was any more involved with Thief 3 than he was with Deus Ex 2. He was much more involved with DX than with DX2, which he essentially handed over to Harvey Smith.

P.S. I don't recall Spector firing Smith, but perhaps I missed that.
