I picked up this story from the Hill to the Valley blog but not everyone may visit that so I am reproducing it here: Spring
My comments would be:
1. It sounds like sour grapes, although clearly he wants to get even with us.
2. All this talk about Charlton being one of the biggest clubs in the division is nonsense, but it is a real problem for us as so many teams see us a scalp. We are a club desperately short of money, struggling to survive and at some risk of disappearing altogether.
3. In my view a manager is entitled to have favourites in the sense that he can make a judgment about which players are likely to do best. From what I saw of Spring he was a useful player, but arguably we had better players in his position.

A Spring in his step
Matt Spring has signed for Orient on a two year deal: Spring
Most of his outings at Charlton were as a substitute, but Orient seem to regard him as more than a bench warmer. No doubt he will torment us in our matches with Orient, the early away one having been switched to television.

Forster looks for new club
Nicky Forster is looking for his ninth club having fallen out with the Seagulls and departed from Charlton, his last act for the club having been to score a well-taken penalty on Monday night: Forster
A number of other players have left the club. Jack Clark was a decent youngster, but never really made the grade. Also on his way is Chris Dickson who may now return to the non-league system, but possibly at a higher level than the third tier he came from.
Leon McKenzie was the latest in a long line of Charlton players who turned out to be crocked for much of the time. Dean Sinclair was one of the players least likely to be recognised by an Addick as he went out on a series of loans to League 2 clubs, most recently Grimsby.
Matt Spring is arguably the least fortunate of the bunch. He always put on a decent performance when he came on a sub, which was his usual fate and even these opportunities have dwindled of late. But the squad has to be reduced in size and any saving is worthwhile.
