Makes sense as he is not getting any game time with us.

Don't like Baller League at all. Don't think Eddie is up to much with us either. But it fits him because he has a humongous ego! Shouldn't be anywhere near Baller League as a step 2 footballer in my opinion. Other names in there, Gondoh, Bassett yep all fits, see above, same as Allsopp.

I understand the appeal, it's great money for players. But for a manager trying to build a competitive squad in Step Two football it must be deeply frustrating. It's a sideshow though, nothing more - for players who are ostensibly looking to move back into League football, I can't imagine it's a great look for scouts etc. from the professional game. Especially when we had situations last season where players were playing Saturday afternoon matches for us, and then Saturday evening Baller League matches.

Luke Robertson has dual registered with Chertsey.

Perhaps a sign that Atkinson is coming back. Robertson was the Atkinson replacement but has had no real game time to speak of. Looked well short of NLS standard.
Loan is until the end of the season so we don’t expect him back .

It's a completely embarrassing sideshow at best, and if I were a Step 2 manager I'd release any player who signed up for the Baller League immediately. It's another modern abomination.

Does seem logical. Wouldn’t be the worse thing to happen.

Atkinson leaving Salisbury now confirmed...

Says his contract has been cancelled by mutual consent so no fees should be payable if we sign him, not to Salisbury at least.
