In todays world it almost seems like the consigliere is more important than the underboss. In a few families its safe to say the boss and consig have stronger relationships than the boss and underboss. Examples like philly and new england make me think if the boss passed away or went to club fed the consigliere wud b a better fir to run the family. In philly if ligambi was out of the picture it wud b hard to argue that staino wud b a better boss than angelina even if marty is underboss. And in new england if limone was out of the picture you wud think one of the dinunzio brothers wud have to take over since they lead the much larger boston faction and are said to b limone's top guys
