We have no way of knowing what Michael did or did not know. For whatever reasons, he typically gave Power of Attorney (POA) to his management. They could then sign contracts in his behalf, make business transactions, and so on. This is probably what happened when the ten concerts morphed into fifty. Tohme likely had POA then and hence, made decisions FOR Michael. We DO know that Tohme called Randy Phillips and said Michael had agreed to fifty concerts.
DID Michael agree? No way to know, now. A good manager always acts on behalf of the client and they talk though decisions. This happens behind-the-scenes, and we were not flies on the wall for this.
In the past, Michael's giving away POA caused him problems when he gave that much power to those who didn't have his best interests in mind. For whatever reasons, history has proven he was not always a good judge of character or the motivations of others.
There are two possibilities. One is that Michael wanted Frank on the ATV/Sony board to protect his interests. The other is that Frank's membership on the board was done without Michael's knowledge or agreement. No way to know for certain now, which it was.
