The AA's board has "removed" its executive chairman for gross misconduct and revealed its full-year performance would miss previous expectations.In a statement to the City the motoring services group said Bob MacKenzie had left the company with immediate effect though it refused to explain why, except to say it was a "personal conduct-related matter".The AA confirmed there was no connection between the decision and its separate warning of a hit to profit expectations.
