A cynic might say that his decision was made based on income he might be getting vs what he would have gotten to play on.
People might say "But he's getting less as a part time coach than a player", but that assumes he only doing one part time job!
Anyway, in several cases recently, Simmo, sMurph, Betts and Kreuzer, the time was right for the club to move on, it is not like it came as a shock even if some had trouble accepting it!
