I don't think Neil would have been a good boss. Had to many indictments in his name; and I don't think he knew much about other rackets in the family except those he controlled. Yea; He was respected but I believe Paul was the better of the two.

I got a question; if Paul and Neil weren't suitable successors to Carlo.

Who would have been other figures in the family that possibly had a shot to take over once Carlo died in 1976?

James Failla? Tommy Gambino? Joseph Armone? One name I think could have had a real good shot; Anthony Scotto? Believe he was still a captain at that time and had clout in the legitimate world. Very well respected by politicians; unions and close to Carlo.
