I think Paul making financial decisions for the band would be a completely different power dynamic then Paul having his new girlfriend/wife's family, all people whom the others barely know, making financial decisions. It's a different level of trust.
Paul's decision to try to get the others to accept his in-laws actually reminds of the whole betting busted for pot in Japan. I mean, really, what was he thinking? But maybe Paul isn't always making these decisions on a conscious level? John thought that might be the case, about Paul's public announcements at convenient moments: John: Do you remember if Paul's statement on acid came out after Sergeant Pepper? Q: Just as it was released. John: I see. He always times his big announcements right on the letter, doesn't he. Like leaving the Beatles. Maybe it's instinctive. It probably is.
If John Lennon couldn't be certain as to whether Paul McCartney made decisions based on conscious thought or instinctively, I'm probably not going to be able to have much luck.
Paul and Linda happened really fast. As John once grumbled, And the next minute she's married him. And yeah, taking on her family as managers was a huge commitment. Which just added to all the complicated emotional drama going on.
