Here's some of their thoughts from our Facebook and Twitter pages:
Av Edwards: I wish Steve and his family well for the future sad to see him go but if he feels it's right to go, then so be it. Good Luck
Michael Mc: Lockdown Britain or sunny Australia.. no choice really
Båz Gråhàm: Timing is terrible. Why?
Daz Kehoe: Wow
Terry Humphrys: Should he go before the season starts
Lenny Woodall: At least everyone at the club knows the score and the club can search for a replacement without making a rushed decision.
Its no shock really is it. He's contracted till the end of the season. He's Australian and wants to go home.
