If as you describe apparently everyone knew there would be a replacement then that's not a legitimate redundancy.
i never said everyone knew, just that the comments were a commentary on the person they'd just got rid of - saying that hopefully the next person will be interested in the job and achieving something and not spending their entire time feathering their own nest and preparing for their next move. They meant, I think, whatever role popped up with similar responsibilities. I'm not entirely sure that the person wasn't dispensed with for organising a job with a competitor on company time, but that's only hearsay.
