Personal reasons could easily be fed up of all the aggro with the role and social media calling him out all the time.
Of course, some of that comes with working in football but I imagine living in Swindon for years, where a lot of people, will know you, and constant questions etc would grind you down.
It's easier for Rob to slip back into the corporate world like Nationwide and hand over to someone who is a bit more low profile.

regardless of actual reason, it felt like he was being sidelined anyway given the whole share fiasco.
Better for him he got out, even if that wasn't the specific reason

I suspect I’m not alone, but thanks Rob Angus for all of your work. It must have been incredibly challenging from a personal perspective to work in an environment you care so much about, surrounded by a few influential but disreputable characters. We were better with him, but nobody can begrudge him a return to a more normal day to day…

Rob is an honorable guy. That may have become a problem in his role at STFC. I hope that is the extent of his "personal" problems. Regardless, for me, he leaves with his head held high and his self respect intact.

Whenever I think of Rob Angus, it's the look on his face at Leyton Orient when the fans were chanting about wanting Sandro put. Clearly a huge fan and maybe the stress of being both a fan and CEO was too much. We will possibly not know for some time but I wish him the best.

Someone put on twitter that it’s not just Angus who’s left - Norman, Lindsey, Chorley and Morris all effectively resigned from the club. Too many for a coincidence.
Morris alluded to ‘things going on’.

Morris was sacked. Lindsey jumped before he was pushed.

Did Ed Brand ever actually officially join us to the point where we actually employed him?!

Setting aside that at least two of them were essentially pushed, 5 resignations from a company employing c.100 people is hardly earth shattering. TBH its also fairly normal for some churn after taking over a distressed company after a period to move it forward. Long and short, not sure anyone knows the precise reason why RA has gone, could be a plethora of reasons on his side and/or the clubs. As noted previously the fact that he has worked some sort of notice period suggests that either its very amicable or that its been in the post for a lot longer than the rumours suggest. Anyway good luck to the bloke and we move on.

TBF if ‘things going on’ meant Morris out Flynn in that’s a result!

Those five being the CEO, CFO, Director of Football and two first team managers is hardly five employees selected at random though, is it? (fwiw I think putting Lindsey/Morris in that list is a bit of a separate thing, but it's hardly three folks from the club shop)

Quite possible - Chorley was brought in by LEE POWER.
