Possibly won't now, but a home tie v Rovers would generate c£150k more than a home game v Les Cats and that's some serious money. Also better for the City to have both sides doing well.
Obviously I'd always want for us to win and finish higher, but having a healthy, competitive rivalry provides a financial spin off for us to invest in further strengthening the Club/Team/Coach.
Rovers in the middle 8s then relegation followed by oblivion equals the perfect scenario.
