The official answer seems to be: CIG trying to get as many people to the Manchester office and he may or may not be unwilling to relocate. That's just my guess though.
GamesIndustry has additional comment from CIG on the matter.
For what it's worth, he's been replaced by Richard Tyrer (director of Squadron 42).
they had some people that decided to leave instead of relocating*
Decided to leave instead of uproot their entire family, get visas, and move halfway around the world for a video game.
Yeah Roberts is a "visionary", but there'd have to be a nice fat line of cash in my bank account to go through with something like that.
100% agreed. Nobody could be blamed for not wanting to relocate for a job and it's honestly kinda ridiculous in this day and age that they're requiring them to. Remote work works!
They're also hiring 40 people at the moment:

Mostly around the Manchester area.
What’s this “hit with layoffs “ phrasing about? CI have chosen to lay off workers.
