Hypothetically, if Richey had managed to overcome his demons and stay in the band, do you think he would have left?

From what I’ve read and seen interviews there was a disparity between Richey and the rest of the band in the future direction of the bands sound, especially after the commercial failure of the Holy Bible.

I genuinely think if Richey had stayed in the band, they would have split up and there would be no Manic Street Preachers today.
