I think *all* the subs were/are in trouble. And they used the floundering DCU club as an excuse to extend the others along with it. Keeping quiet about the others floundering, to keep fans from losing confidence in them.
Think about it... one of the main excuses I remember seeing to not join the DCU club was people didn't think it'd get off the ground, and choosing to allow others to support the club instead.
If it got out that the other subs were floundering, I see no reason why that mindset wouldn't fall into place with them. People bailing out on GB instead of rallying to get more support.
I mean, all the rallying the hardcore DCUC fans did didn't seem to make a bit of difference for getting our club off the ground.

Could they have done something different for GB? Yes. Should they have? Yes. But hindsight is always perfect 20/20.

It was still extremely shady of them, though. But I can understand some of their reasons.
