I know people will disagree with me but I think Neil would have made a better boss than Gotti in the long run.
I don't disagree with you, at all, Rush.
In fact, Dellacroce would have made an excellent Family boss. "Unofficially" he was, essentially, always viewed that way, anyway.
Now, to the contrary, I think that Gotti was a terrible boss. IMO, he had all brawn, and no brains.
Did he make a good soldier? Yes, definitely! Did he make for a good capo? So long as he followed the tutelage of a guy like Dellacroce, yes, he would make a good capo. But a boss? No way! No how!.....and the proof of that is in the pudding as they say.
