True, Clockwerk did say that he wanted to prove that the Thievius Raccoonus was the key to the Coopers master thievery. Though I think he wanted to make Sly a worse thief so he could better him, rather than remove him from the picture entirely. Otherwise he would have just killed Sly when he was eight.
