Happy for him to train with the under-23s to keep himself fit as long as he's not given a contract of any kind. I'm all for the club helping out former players in their time of need as long as it's just a leg up and not giving them a free living.
The big difference between this and Baxter is that Baxter is a multiple drug-test failing loser who insulted the supporters after leaving and even when he was at the club had an attitude that stunk. People like that should never be welcomed back to the dinner table and have money put in their pocket, what sort of example does that set to youth players who work hard and dedicated themselves only to be let go? Rodwell, for all his career problems, is a dedicated professional who has never disgraced himself off the pitch. Baxter is a druggie who should have been left on the scrapheap.
