Did the report actually say they 'fired' him, or was it more that he 'decided to concentrate on his golf' or some other
wishy washy statement. Did he jump or was he pushed as we might say?
I can understand them having a 'falling out' over the withdrawl of the set, or perhaps the cancellation of future Ogel
sets I believe were in the pipeline, and as a result them agreeing to 'part company'.
I assume firing isn't very easy with Danish employment laws, so I can't imagine them even being allowed to fire him in
reaction to this one event.
