He became manager of the band well before that, & the fact that the band was self-managed for many years was one of the best things about Fleetwood Mac in those days. Many of the group's later problems are directly or indirectly related to their being managed by five different business execs at any given time, plus all those execs' assorted peripherals, like lawyers, producers, & label goons.

So, he is desperate when Fleetwood Mac does not makes him earn lots of money (since I guess he wants to mantain a high life style).

You hit the nail on the head. I think "desperate" is the most accurate word to describe the situation Mick frequently finds himself in.
Otherwise, we're going to have to agree to disagree, Villavic. For about the past twenty years, I've seen Mick concoct one harebrained scheme after another for bilking fans or just making a buck in unsavory ways.

So he thinks in videos, dvds, any merchandise.

"Any merchandise," indeed: wine, jumped-up portable CD players, digital drum loops, Atari Hotz Boxes, faux jewelry, etc.
It's not that each one individually is so ridiculous. It's the overall effect, year after year, of Mick treating the relationship between Fleetwood Mac & its fan base like a giant yard sale.
