Best Answer

He didn't. Paul McCartney sued to dissolve The Beatles' business partnership, concerned that Allen Klein's management would damage them over time. (He wasn't happy about it, saying later "I felt like an arse, suing my best mates and being seen to sue my best mates.") At the time, the other Beatles were sold on Klein, and rejected McCartney's choice of manager, his new father-in-law Lee Eastman.

Lennon, Harrison and Starr later soured on Klein, and the two sides sued each other, settling in 1977 with a payment to Klein of about £3.5 million. In the end, the other Beatles were thankful to McCartney, for "saving their legacy".

Which Beatle did not want Allen Klein to become their manager What were the reasons that he gave?

Paul McCartney was the Beatle who did not want to use Allen Klein. John had convinced George and Ringo to agree to using him but Paul wanted his father-in-law Lee Eastman to manage their affairs. Turns out Klein was claiming 20% of The Beatles' royalties for himself. In 1970, Paul sued the other three Beatles and Apple Corps. which led to Klein being forced to leave. Longtime friend of The Beatles, Neil Aspinall, was then appointed CEO of Apple Corps.
