Administration is used here as a collective noun - like personnel, staff - therefore followed by a plural verb, although one could debate the point.

"As worse than useless" is 100% correct as Françoise has pointed out.
And yes, Manu, some know maybe not all but a lot more than others. LOL

c'était un simple problème de compréhension (il fallait rattacher "as" à considering them" alors qu'une lecture rapide de cette longue phrase avait probablement donné l'impression que ces gens étaient "left as worse"); pour le reste pay(s) pourrait être une banale faute de frappe de notre asker.

But as you all know "some" know it all! LOL

Shouldn't 'the administration pay the expenses' be 'the administration payS'? Also could 'as worse than useless' be 'IS worse than useless'?

"as" (considering them as) ne fait pas partie de l'expression qui est simplement "worse than useless"...

The English is perfectly correct.

Not so, however, at Saxon: get all you can and keep all you can was the rule there; for in the hall, or rather passage, of the building was a notice in French to the effect that no money would be given to the bankrupts on any consideration whatever, and that those who intended risking their all were advised to leave the price of their homeward journey with the concierge.
