In all fairness to Nigel, it must have been hard to deal with Peter. Peter obviously takes a while to process thoughts and probably had a few ideas that were never going to be commercially successful.
Nigel was trying to make some money, this is certain, but he was also trying to make a commercially successful band with Peter. You only have to listen to End of the Game to know why Nigel didn't really want to go down that road...
I'm sure Nigel faced the same problems that Mick and John faced years before, when Peter wanted to give all their money away.
Mentally ill people can be challenging at the best of times, and I think that is often forgotten when people talk about Nigel's dealings with Peter.
