And if Bob had decided to come back when the white album is already being played on the radio, I don't think they would have welcomed him.

The press kit for the White Album seems to indicate that Welch was supposed to maintain some sort of role with the band even after his departure.

"On the last day of 1974, after four years in the band, Bob Welch was exhausted by the band's arduous touring schedule, and desired to pursue solo musical goals. However, he'll still be involved with Fleetwood Mac on the production side, beginning with the follow-up to Heroes Are Hard to Find".
