The Manics must be the least business focused band I've come across. I mean they work hard with making the music and do that very well but when it comes to promotion, their live shows (which aren't much of a spectacle) and products (overpriced deluxe shoeboxes and lack of concert DVDs) it shows that they are either ill-advised or they don't realise there is actually a market out there.
