12 million pounds were attributted to "miscellaneous spending" in the 3 years leading up to the administrators being called in.
Brenda's fees seem a snip compared to the past boards extravagances.

Not £7M, or £10M, but £2.25M.

Looking at that list of creditors is a truly depressing experience.

Distasteful or not, administration was always going to cost 'us' in the region of a million pounds & I'm pretty sure we discussed this sort of figure when, at least some of us on here, were clamouring to take the administration route.
That the legal profession has a licence to print money isn't breaking news.
I agree. A point I tried making earlier on in this thread Jon.

Agreed. It was always going to cost a lot. That's the price that has had to be paid for keeping the club afloat this long (and, yes, I'm not overlooking the wrong turns taken which have extended the administration process).
With regards to the notion of legal action against P&A, I do suspect that the firm would have faced the risk of a law suit if it had picked Akkerron instead of Bishop International Ltd back in early July. At that time, BIL had (somehow) provided proof of funding and the major secured creditors would have had cause for complaint if a bidder offering them a much lower amount had been picked instead. Proving in a court of law that P&A has subsequently infringed administration legislation in its conduct of the case would, I suspect, be very difficult.
