Never Irving of course! But if they had had a manager with a Brian Epstein's conflict management skills, the story would have been different. Mick may have had an approach to the band's whims, but his accounting skills were a disaster and the trigger was the small profits after the Tusk tour. So it was logic they looked for different managers in 1982.
