I was one year into the 10 year plan and then due to someone\u2019s bad mood that all fell apart I\u2019d imagine. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not sure why, still don\u2019t know the real reason, won\u2019t speak to Jackie until she\u2019s finished with her court proceedings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These days, he says he almost doesn\u2019t care anymore about discovering the reason behind the sacking, and insists losing his job was not as bad as he\u2019d imagined.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople would think, \u2018he\u2019s crushed\u2019.
