Think I'm with Breeze on the "throwing the deal under the bus".  Statements like the below (no names), that were then picked up on and agreed with by some.  Might lead the reader to that conclusion. 

From Suresh yesterday it is clear we have no NA tier one client any longer. 

That said, I would agree it certainly didn't fill me with complete confidence that all is well with the NA T1.  I could sense perhaps a hint of frustration in his words.  Perhaps as if they have been messed around or things haven't gone as smoothly as hoped.

Whatever it is.  It is far from under a bus.
